THE new addition to the Story of Tenby display officially opened at Tenby Museum and Art Gallery on Sunday.

Tenby in Two Words is a site specific artwork by local artist Alan Rees-Baynes (pictured).

The project began in Easter 2013 where visitors to the museum and local people were invited to submit two words that reminded them of Tenby.

Over 200 responses were received and Alan set about creating his piece.

The words were painted onto three sheets of Perspex and placed into the window area of the museum's gallery.

An accompanying painting, located outside the museum, acts as a visual response to the words with each image relating to the two word descriptions.

The colours of the words relate to a palette created from a photograph taken looking through each window. The existence of sky, sand, sea and grass can be witnessed in the shades of each word.

Alan said: "This is the first time I have undertaken a word painting that fits in a window and relates to the colour of the view. I have decided to call these new works 'wordscapes' as I feel this best describes what they are. I would like to thank everyone who gave words, and in turn, life to this series of paintings."

Mark Lewis, collections manager at Tenby Museum, stated: "This is an exciting project and the museum is proud to be involved in it. The words show a certain nostalgia and affection for Tenby and the piece adds a new dimension to the gallery."
