A Kenfig Journal

Kenfig Journal by Kristian Evans

Kristian Evans is an artist and writer from Bridgend interested in ecology and the ways we think about and interact with the “other-than-human” world. He has lived in Kenfig for five years. His performance installation “The Mirror’s Grain,” written with Tracy Evans, was launched at the Kenfig National Nature Reserve Centre in May 2010, as part of the “Mouth to Mouth” series of events organised by Arts for the Earth.

Rain

P Morgan February 5, 2024

Suddenly the rain catches us, swirling in on the squall between the dunes as the storm makes land, soaking us quickly.

Ice on the rockpools and salt in the hail that lashed across the black shipwrecking hooks of Sker Point. I shrank into my coat, tugged my hood over my eyes and retreated.

Kristian Evans August 2, 2017

Here in the duneland, no rain for a month. Every day now, soon after dawn, the sun’s heat is hurried to a pitiless blaze and the sand burns the air to golden dust. Dragonflies thrive. They materialise beside us like digital updates from paradise, messages alerting us, alerting us – then gone.
