St.Brigid Guardian Bird of Relics
Bykaterattray October 7, 2017February 5, 2021

It is said that the Irish Saint Brigid (of Kildare) visited Beckery chapel just outside Glastonbury in the 5th Century AD.

Photomontage and mosaic
Bykaterattray November 23, 2009

My final year at college (1989) I finally settled into making photomontage , and in those days without the use of a computer programme. I would cut up pictures from magazines, take photos of scenes and people and arrange the pieces, then take a final photo which I would then process in black and white….
