Ainsley Hillard will be exhibiting at Aberglasney from 10th October 2014, and is interested in bringing together the past and the present, and her arts practice is site-referential, being informed by specific places and the memories they hold.
Over the past year, Ainsley has been collaborating with acoustic engineer Rhys James to create a site-specific audio-textile exhibition, that will be installed in the interiors of Aberglasney House as well as the Cloister Gardens.
Born and living in Carmarthenshire she is interested in the social-history of Aberglasney which has acted as a catalyst, inspiring her to develop and create a new body of work informed by the original archival materials and records both past and present.

Ainsley has also been inspired by the poetry of John Dyer, ‘Grongar Hill’ and ‘A Country Walk’ to develop audio-textile installations.
Ainsley’s aims:
• To reveal stories both individual and collective that will build relationships and make connections with the wider community.
• To create a socially responsive art project that considers the audience as interconnected.
• The audience is actively engaged in the space and implicated within the artwork. As a result the relationship between people, memory and space becomes inter-woven.
Ainsley will be undertaking oral recordings at Aberglasney on Tuesday 12th August between 11am – 2pm.
(The Ticket Office will inform you where on site the recordings are being held)
If you are interested in participating, to perhaps read a line of one of the poems by John Dyer or if you have any interesting personal stories or experiences of Aberglasney House and Gardens and surrounding area please come along or contact Ainsley via email ainsleyhillard@gmail.com
It is a very informal recording session and Ainsley hopes that it will attract a number of Welsh and English speaking participants so that a selection of these oral recordings will contribute to the final exhibition.
