Peter Spriggs, former lecturer in fine art at Carmarthen School of Art, and now at Swansea College of Art, University of Wales Trinity St David, became fascinated with painting burning candles. He sees them as “embodiments of time and light” and paints them for “personal, spiritual, religous and political reasons” to bring hope.
