Interview
INTERVIEW WITH AN ARTIST We talk to Theo Crutchley-Mack, a young Cardigan-based artist with an enviable reputation Sally Sellwood
TO be exhibiting alongside Damian Hirst and Grayson Perry is something that most artists can only dream of – and then, only when they are seriously established. Yet this is something that Cardigan-based artist Theo Crutchley -Mack can lay claim to at the age of just 23. We wanted to find out more about Theo’s work, his inspirations, and his journey as an artist. THE DRAW OF ABANDONED LANDSCAPES Abandonment features heavily in Theo’s work. He explains “It’s an interest that developed whilst studying
@ylcrowd
drawing at university in Falmouth. There were lots of abandoned mining sites, engine houses and open abandoned spaces nearby that I could access. I spent a lot of time sketching these places. Another source of inspiration was the old fishing industry on the Cornish coast – plenty of old trawlers and wrecks.” What began as interesting subjects to sketch and draw developed into a full-blown obsession as his studies progressed. The subject matter of decay lent itself well to Theo’s preferred medium, a cement-like paste he made up from talc, white www.yourlocalcrowd.co.uk | 3
Interview
paint and PVA glue. The heavy-bodied medium was ideal for manipulating into the textures of decay. It also allowed him to introduce further materials into the works that he created on hand made paper – for example strands of cotton string to create grassy textures and foliage. Unfortunately, it was also not very durable, and paintings would deteriorate quickly. With experience has come a new approach to the mediums he uses. Theo now works with a combination of marble dust and an acrylic binder which is acid free and means his works are long lasting, yet maintain the same patina that is distinctive of his work.

A ‘LIGHTBULB’ MOMENT AT THE AGE OF 16 Theo’s ‘lightbulb’ moment came whilst still at school in Yorkshire. Encouraged to enter a national competition run by the Royal Mint to design a 50p coin to commemorate the 2012 London Olympics, he was delighted to win. “Winning the competition meant the school I was at received £10,000. I was invited to go and see the Royal Mint, where we were treated like celebrities. It made me feel like I really was alright at drawing and was the push that got me into drawing seriously.” From there, Theo hasn’t looked back. He moved to West Wales with his parents, where he is now
based, after a period in Cornwall studying for a degree in Drawing. The area offers a rich seam of inspiration for Theo to mine in his search for the desolate landscapes he prefers. Not just the tumbledown cottages and farms, the rusty tin roofs, of the Preselis, but also the coast, including sites such as Porthgain, and the Blue Lagoon at Abereiddy. BEYOND WEST WALES Although currently based in Cardigan, Theo’s work isn’t all about the Wales, nor is it all about abandonment. “When I graduated from university, one couple bought 4 of my paintings from my degree show.
They are based on Tresco, one of the Scilly Isles and invited me to be their artist in residence – which means I can go and stay there and work whenever I like. I tend to go in the winter and create a body of work based on the landscapes of Tresco which is then shown in the gallery on the island in the summer. Tresco is completely different to West Wales – a far more pristine landscape, which has led me to concentrate on the colours, making the pastes I use in my other pictures work in different ways. It’s an exciting evolution for me.” Theo has also created a series of works inspired by the south Devon landscape, currently

Interview displayed in the prestigious Drang Gallery, Salcombe, alongside works by Damian Hirst and Grayson Perry (among others). Asked about the future, Theo has one clear objective in mind“I really want to go to the Falkland Islands. It’s the only area of sheltered sea for thousands of miles down there, and there are lots of wrecks and abandoned whaling stations” Beyond that, Theo says“I’m always striving to get better – may be I’m too critical of myself. I don’t plan too much, and go where life takes me. So far it’s been pretty good!” Theo has exhibited at the Ceridwen Centre and currently has works with at the Albany Gallery, Cardiff. He will be putting on his second solo show in the Late November Gallery, Haverfordwest from 13th October to 10th November 2017. Further afield, and as mentioned above, you can see find his distinctive pieces in the Drang Gallery, Salcombe n
SOLO EXHIBITION Theo’s major solo show opening of 30+ originals will be held at The Late November Gallery, On the Quay, Haverfordwest on October 16, 6-9pm More info at www.crutchley-mack.com crutchleymack Since interviewing Theo, it’s been confirmed that he gets his wish and is going to the Falklands and South Georgia as artist in residence with the South Georgia Heritage Trust for 2 months in Feb/March next year and we wish him great success in his future career.

TOP TIPS 1. Plant crops for Winter veg, and for early Spring cropping 2. Remove shade paint, clean and disinfect your greenhouse 3. Rake thatch and moss out of your lawn and apply feed (or re-turf) where necessary 4. Net ponds to stop problems from leaf fall 5. Create storage for fallen leaves, and collect them up to create leaf mould 6. Plant evergreens 7. Lift tender species and store the tubers 8. Service your lawnmower 9. Clear out your compost 10. Divide perennials and move plants that need relocating. frosts threaten. Once you have brushed off the soil, the tubers can be stored in dry compost or sand in a cool, frost free place ready for replanting in Spring. In some areas, simply applying a thick mulch will avoid the need for lifting – but only for those in milder climates. Divide and conquer Spend some time moving plants around, dividing perennials and generally clearing out your borders. You can cut
back perennials to 5cm above ground level, leaving any attractive seed-heads for structure and interest. Dig up and compost annuals, then apply a mulch to the borders. Love your lawn Rake out any thatch and moss from your lawn, and improve drainage and aeration to worn areas using a garden fork to make holes every 10 cm or so. It’s a good time to feed your lawn or to lay new turf in areas that really need it. Keep on top of the leaves Collect fallen leaves in a cage of wire mesh (or use bin liners with holes punched into the sides) and allow them to rot down into leaf mould. Net your pond before the leaves start to fall in causing problems. Be evergreen Autumn is a good time to plant evergreens to fill gaps in your borders and add year round interest and structure to your beds. Lock up your lawnmower You may be relieved to see the back of the mowing for another year, but before you store your lawnmower, think about having it serviced (or service it yourself) to avoid it seizing up over the Winter.

AS the seasons change and summer moves seamlessly into Autumn (hopefully with a final flurry of sunshine to sustain us through the winter), there are lots of jobs in the garden that demand your attention, whatever the weather. Here, we’ve brought together your Autumn gardening ‘to do’ list. Autumn planting Plant Autumn onion sets, garlic, and perpetual spinach. Get broad beans and peas in for earlier cropping in the Spring. Get busy in the greenhouse Clean off shade paint and clear leaves from the guttering and repair any broken panes before the winter. Tidying up and cleaning out will reduce the risk of overwintering pests and disease. Compost bins Clear out last year’s compost and dig it in around the garden to make way for all the green material that clearing up your borders and veg garden will generate. If your compost isn’t quite ready then turn it to improve decomposition, and create a new heap - you can never have too much compost! Love me tender Cut back stems of tender species – Cannas, Dahlias, Begonias, and lift the tubers before the first

CURIOUS CREATURES OF WEST WALES FOLKLORE
Wales is a country steeped in myth and legend. Ancient tales passed down through generations tell of strange creatures that once roamed the hills and valleys, lurked in the watery depths of rivers and lakes or inhabited the wild rocky shores. Here we share the story of The Last Dragon in Wales In West Wales, the exploits of mischievous faeries, beguiling mermaids and fire-breathing dragons have been woven into fireside stories for hundreds of years, shaping the rich folklore of the region. Many of our most famous historic sites feature in these stories - and it’s said that if you visit some of these places when the time is right, you may still encounter some of the curious creatures that have dwelled in these lands since the dawn of legend. THE LAST DRAGON IN WALES Dragons are the mythological creatures we most closely associate with Wales. These fire-breathing winged serpents loom large in tales of brave knights and damsels in distress but the story of the last dragon in Wales is a slightly different tale set in the town of Newcastle Emlyn. The story goes that during a village celebration in the shadow of the castle, the townspeople were panicked by the sight of a huge
@ylcrowd
dragon landing on a turret to rest. A soldier approached the dragon, spreading a red shawl on the waters of the river Teifi as he crossed it, whereupon the dragon awoke and flew down to grab the shawl. The soldier speared the poor dragon at its weakest point (some versions of the story cite this as being the poor dragon’s bottom) and the dragon then fell, thrashing, into the water and died. The blood and venom that flowed from the dragon’s body into the river was said to have killed all the fish. Today, the legend of the last dragon of Wales is kept alive in the sculptures and plaques that sit within the dramatic castle ruins. It’s almost impossible to explore this spectacular and remote region of Wales without stumbling across a legend or two but just beware when you’re out and about - those ancient stones where you sit to rest or that babbling stream where you stop to paddle might once have been (or may even still be) the home of a rather curious creature! n

5 REASONS
TO TAKE UP SWIMMING THIS AUTUMN Leanne Bird discusses the benefits of staying active with swimming me@exerciseyoufreedom.com
IT’S AN ALL WEATHER SPORT Come rain or shine, it doesn’t matter what the weather is, you can get into that swimming pool. So in autumn, you can escape the elements at your local swimming pool.
IT WORKS YOUR WHOLE BODY Swimming is a great whole body workout – working your upper and lower body, as well as your core, particularly when undertaking a variety of strokes in your session. A fantastic exercise for the heart and lungs, increasing your fitness and reducing blood pressure and your risk of Type II diabetes, stroke and cardiovascular heart disease.
DO IT ALONE OR AS PART OF A TEAM Swimming is a great sport for anyone who likes or could do with time to yourself. Counting lengths or even strokes can be meditating and being in the water with your ears covered can help to connect you with yourself, reducing your stress levels. Most clubs cater for a variety of abilities/ fitness levels and there are sessions that focus on swimming as a group fitness rather than racing, enabling you to benefit from the motivation and friendships that come from being part of a team.
IT HAS LESS IMPACT ON YOUR JOINTS As it is not a weight bearing exercise, swimming is much less likely to result in injuries to your ankles, knees and hips unlike other forms of exercise, particularly if you are
overweight/obese or already suffer issues. It is important however to remember that some form of weight bearing exercise is important for reducing the risk of osteoporosis. Combining swimming with walking or cycling is a great combination. Furthermore, if you suffer from issues relating to your neck or spine, water aerobics may be preferable over swimming or sticking to backstroke to reduce stress to the neck
IT’S GREAT WAY TO LOSE WEIGHT Swimming is a brilliant endurance exercise that, as long as you work yourself to a point where you are out of breath, for at least 20 minutes, is great for fat loss. Add in a few sets of intervals (sets of sprints followed by rest), and you’ll also increase the amount of calories you burn post exercise! So whether you once were in to swimming and lost the habit or it’s something you haven’t really tried as a form of exercise then get yourself to your local pool. n Can’t swim? Many pools offer adult swim lessons to help you learn or just give yourself some confidence. n Need a challenge to get you motivated? Then you could always sign up for the Aspire Swim Challenge – 22 miles in 12 weeks – the equivalent of the English Channel So what are you waiting for? Get your local pools timetable and plan your next swim. Or maybe even join an outdoor swim club and get the added benefits of being
in nature. For more healthy lifestyle tips visit www.exercisyourfreedom.com/fit-tips. Leanne Bird, Founder of BirdSol Fitness | Nutrition | Massage | Wellbeing

The nights have started drawing in and you may start finding excuses why you ‘can’t’ go out for that walk, run or bike ride. So what do you do? You could sit inside and start getting ready for the winter, or you try your hand at swimming? Here are 5 reasons to give it a go….

BACK TO SCHOOL Going back to school after a long lazy summer can be a major shock to the system. What can we do as parents to ease our offspring back into some kind of routine? RESET THE BODY CLOCK I’m sure it’s been a real treat, relaxing the bedtime routine for your children over the holidays, not having to worry about the late meal out or the what time the film finishes, allowing them that indulgent holiday lie-in the following day, but how do you get them back into any kind of routine without the arguments? It’s a tough one, but if you want said child to be at all responsive when returning to school, this one really needs to be cracked! Here are a few of my own tried & tested tips... n Shift the To-Bed and Wake-Up times a couple of weeks before they return to school, it’s less of a shock. n Calculate the average time your child needs to sleep, easily done with my own teenage son, always grumpy when lacking sleep! Then try to ensure they are getting the necessary number of hours sleep a good week or so before getting back into the routine. Encourage them to turn off electrical devices, phones, tv and computer games, a good hour before bed, allowing them time to mentally switch off. n Don’t rush them in the morning, make getting up worth it, allow some time for them to watch tv or txt their friend for the first couple of days before going back to school, but wake them at the time they will need to be getting up for school a week or so before, setting a pattern, allowing them to tire earlier at night. n The last night of the holidays are usually taken up with the chaos of organisation of school uniform, books, bags etc. Allow for this chaos and excitement, it’s not a big deal if they are half an hour late to bed. MAKE SOME ORGANISED SPACES Bedrooms! Mess, chaos, toys, broken bits of lego? n In theory organising your child’s room will help organise the mind. I failed at this every year, but persevered regardless!

@ylcrowd
Encourage them to find a place in their room which can be organised, yes, a place to do homework! Spend some time with your child encouraging them to create that space themselves, allowing them to fill it with just the things they will need to help focus the mind. A desk with new ruler, pens, notepads, free from toys and unnecessary clutter. n DON’T organise this area for them, what works for you may not necessarily work for them. They have to feel this is their space not a forced corner in which you want them to study! DEAL WITH RESISTANCE “I don’t want to go back to school!” An idyllic summer spent, messing around on the beach, doing fun stuff with your friends, pretty much when you want, only to be marched back to the school gates and the classroom at the end of the holidays with a heavy back pack full of books can be a daunting thought for any child, but it needn’t be. n Remind your child of the things he/she enjoyed in the previous term, the friends he made, the cool teacher who made the lessons so much fun, the great school trip. Small reminders usually do the trick. n If however there are more worrying signs that your child is reluctant to return to school, gently ask key questions, what it is that’s troubling them and address each issue as they arise, don’t ignore the signs and get irritated by their lack of enthusiasm, we all lead very hectic lives these days but make time to listen and understand your child’s concerns. n For younger children, why not organise some play days to reconnect with friends who you know are going to be in his/her class when they return to school, then arrange to meet them at the school gates so they can go into school together on their first day back. n And last but by no means least, reassure them that the first few weeks back is all about playing catch up as everyone has had a break, the teachers included. Good Luck!

Go Green
MOULD:
THE CAUSES, REMEDIES, AND PREVENTIONS Dampness and mould can ruin a beautifully decorated room, but even more worryingly they can cause serious health issues. Here Celtic Sustainables offer some practical advice on how best to tackle the problem with Auro’s anti-mould system
Mould is a micro organism which spreads via spores floating about in the air, and which loves moist, warm, organic environments. It will only become visible once it has been growing for quite a while. Where a mould infestation happens, it’s important to figure out the cause of the moisture and any invisible mould which may exist. If your home smells particularly musty or earthy, you may find that you have mould hidden behind furniture, wallpaper, claddings, or heavy curtains. Structural issues such as water damage, insufficiently dried new builds, cold bridges, cracks in the masonry, slipped roofing tiles, overflowing gutters, or rising moisture levels can provide sources of humidity which usually encourage the growth of damp and mould issues. THE INVISIBLE DANGER TO YOUR HEALTH Black mould or white mould build-ups release all kinds of spores and nasties in the air which is not good for your family’s health. The World Health Organization says “Occupants of damp or mouldy buildings are at increased risk of experiencing health problems such as respiratory symptoms, respiratory infections, allergic rhinitis and asthma. Additional effort should be made to keep babies, children, elderly people and those with existing skin problems away from damp and mould.” By using Auro’s anti-mould system, you are tackling the problem instantly, by being able to wash off mould within an hour of application. And by choosing Auro, you are not adding any other harmful chemicals or toxic fumes into the environment. HOW TO GET RID OF MOULD WITH THE AURO ANTI-MOULD SYSTEM First Step; Mould Eliminator #412 Spray the disinfectant Mould eliminator onto the mouldy surface and let it soak for at least an hour, leaving it longer if the wall is particularly badly affected.
14 | www.yourlocalcrowd.co.uk
@CelticSus
Second Step; Mould stop # 413 This stops the mould infestation efficiently and without causing damage to materials. Mould stop is based on natural ingredients, is chlorine-free, and prevents re-infestation in the long-term Final Step; Anti Mould Paint #327 AURO Anti-mould paint is a solvent-free, breathable interior wall paint based on minerals. The Auro Anti Mould paint is the best natural organic mould proof paint available on the market, preventing mould from forming on interior walls. PREVENTING MOULD FROM RETURNING n Heat each room equally, as the temperature difference between rooms should be no greater than 5°C. n Keep cellars ventilated. Only ventilate basements if the outdoor temperature falls below the indoor wall temperature. n Always repair leaks and other building faults. n Open windows for short periods of time throughout the day n Cooking, bathing and showering all produce steam, open the window or install a fan, and close the door to prevent the damp air circulating into other rooms. n Try not to hang your washed clothes indoors as the water gets trapped inside. n Use water permeable construction materials and wall coverings such as all of the AURO wall paints range n When placing furniture, leave at least 5cm between the pieces and the walls.
