About the Book
A dominating presence over the town since their construction during the late sixties and early seventies, the High-Rises and maisonettes in the North Wales town of Flint have been portrayed as notorious sites of disrepute, an eyesore and as somewhere the council house the most disadvantaged and elderly.
In 1999 Paul Jones made a visual record of this iconic area of Flint in an attempt to create a cultural artefact, descriptive of a certain time and place.

About the Creator
P R S Jones
North Wales
Questioning and inventing trajectories between anthroplogy, social geography and art. To consider production of an artwork through ‘conduct’ rather producing a form through the practices and encounters that inform the art of landscape painting, beyond the act itself. A kind of mapping the terrain through dialogue.
