About the print:

"When I visited the Rhymney Valley, in south Wales, for the Valleys Project, I was looking at the remains of the coal-mining industry, which had been massive in Wales at the beginning of the century. I made this picture during the miners’ strike, when nearby Penallta Colliery was one of only two working coal mines remaining in the area: it survived the strike, but closed in 1991. I climbed this rock outcrop to photograph the valley beneath and the railway line that once transported coal to Cardiff. On the top I was impressed by the graffiti as it wasn't an easy climb for someone to carry a can of brilliant white and to paint 'Duran Duran’ on the highest vantage point - as a homage to the gods." - John Davies
