How would you feel on waking at just past midnight to witness an enormous, illuminated cloud descending into your bedroom accompanied by an entourage of stars? At the same time, you are being bombarded with biblical manifestations and visions all pointing to Christ, and you have never so much as read a Bible before! But now you must and have been told by vision to write a book about it.This is a true testimony of an extraordinary happening, to a very ordinary woman, told in detail. Author Christine Jones swears by her account as absolute truth. A book for everyone, written for non-believers as well as the religious, it is an encounter with the unknown that may make you question your understanding of who we are and what we are doing here.“But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night.”- said the apostle Peter (2 Peter 3:10). So, was this a secret visit by Jesus to warn us of his return?

Ten leading artists from Wales, including David Nash, in conversation with Tony Curtis about their art, its roots and practise. This new collection of interviews with artists from wales is further evidence of the current renaissance of the visual arts in the country. The ten artists here vary in practice from figurative and abstract painters, througha ceramicist to sculptors in wood, stone and metal. Their work and words provide, at once, a history of twentieth century art in Wales and a guide to making in the twenty-first century. The book includes the final interview given by Alfred janes, friend of Dylan Thomas, whose career spanned sixty years. His contemporary Jonah Jones talks about the artists as artisan, while at the other end of the age spectrum Brendan Stuart Burns reflects on the influence of location on his work. The book also includes David Nash, the internationally-acclaimed sculptor, and artists such as Christine Jones and Robert harding, whose reputations are beginning to burgeon. Like its predeccssor, Welsh painters Talking, this new book explores the relationship between art and place, identity, spirituality and the market place. With their emphasis on working practice and historical context the interviews are an invaluable record.
