John Howes
John Howes lived and worked on a sheep farm on the Gwrhyd Mountain just northwest of Pontardawe in the upper Swansea Valley for 40 years combining a career as artist, designer, musician and farmer. Making work with and from the very substance and knowledge of a location is paramount for him, whether as an intervention at a particular site or as site-derived works for exhibition elsewhere.
He served on the executive of Sculpture Cymru for 20 years, helping to set up many of the early exhibitions and international projects. He is a Life Member of Sculpture Cymru.
