From a recent shoot with Leoni Freeman, documenting artists working with folk costume across the UK. Here’s Scott channeling ‘Charlotte’. Her skirt says ‘L’imagination au Pouvoir’, a slogan from the 1968 Paris protests - Power in Imagination…the Rebecca Rioters certainly understood that in 1843!

A few weeks ago the wonderful Leoni Freeman came to Carmarthen to photograph some of my work on 35mm film for her amazing project. She is travelling the UK photographing contemporary folk costume and artist practitioners.
This piece is from 2009.
Diolch yn fawr iawn Leoni, Matt Walker and CofGar
