'roath' , is a collection of portraits taken in Cardiff with a home-made view camera that were then printed and developed in the gallery space directly onto the walls for the Made in Roath festival in Cardiff, Wales.

Roath was an experiment in the curating, printing and the presentation of an exhibition. As part of the exhibition, and rather than printing the images and then bring them to the gallery, the gallery space was itself part of the printing process. It was turned into a darkroom and, using liquid photo emulsion, the walls were turned into prints.

The images were contact printed directly onto the gallery wall and developed there in situ. The space, with all its own quirks and faults, become part of the exhibition rather than simply a hanging, or presentation space.
