Whilst we see Mary Lloyd Jones in her studio working with colourful dyes brushed onto fabric, she is introduced as an artist who, since the 1950's, has created paintings inspired by the landscape around her Devil's Bridge birthplace. She talks about the importance to her art of living in Wales, especially West Wales, and how she is inspired by the variety and geology of the landscape, particularly around the nearby old lead mines. She looks at the role of 1970's feminism in her work and how this motivated her to try to create work that clearly said that it was made by a woman. So began her work with fabrics - cloths and dyes - combining the geometric and bold shapes of quilting with elements of the natural world to make it appear fragile and threatened.
