"The more I read about Brenda, the more I felt a connection forming, as though invisible threads were weaving our lives and paths together."
Read Imogen Davies' interview with Elin Gruffydd on the release of Sweet Melancholy.
Sweet Melancholy is a beautiful art book by film photographer Elin Gruffydd, interweaving the art and writing of Brenda Chamberlain with Gruffydd's film photography of the two islands Ynys Enlii and the Greek island Hydra.
"This book is one to sit with. Let it draw your eyes to and fro from text to image, soften your mind’s ears and eyes. Think of two women – Welsh artists, drawn to the margins of land on myth. The images in this book help me hold on to some of the wonder that I find in total lack of distraction, on Enlli. May you find some of that wonder too in the pages of Sweet Melancholy." - Mel Perry, Nation Cymru
