About the Artwork

Behemoth (Ffos-y-fran) (2025) is a painting inspired by the coal mining landscape of Ffos-y-fran in Wales. It is the culmination of a project focused on researching former mining sites across the UK and Ireland, linked by geological lines. These works aim to highlight the lack of responsibility taken to remediate former mining sites; leaving devastating environmental and social impacts in their wake. Often in remote and inaccessible locations, Ward captures these abandoned landscapes through the use of the aerial view. She also collects and uses materials found at the sites such as anthracite, ochre and iron oxide in her work.
