My current work integrates interactive audio with tapestry weaving. Through proximity, hand gestures and conductive thread I allow viewers to take an active part in their experience and understanding of the themes in my weaving. My interest in the textures and colours of sound sit well with my enthusiasm for the same in my tapestry work.Originally trained in tapestry weaving and design at Cleveland College of Art, Alastair moved to Wales in 1983 where he established a studio in Swansea's Maritime Quarter.
