Windmill Man
This piece tells the story of artist Karl Wood, a painter, teacher and stained-glass maker who spent much of his life travelling the countryside in search of windmills to sketch and paint.
Through reflections on creativity, grief and resilience, the work traces a life shaped by both personal loss and the challenges of living as a gay man in a time when homosexuality was criminalised.
Moving between landscape and memory, the piece considers the things that help us keep going - art, movement, friendship and the places that offer a sense of freedom.
