	Artist at Work in Halo Foods
	artist(s):	Jean Napier
	location	Tywyn [north Wales]
	completed	April 2004
		Halo Foods Ltd has been a supporter of the arts for many years and were generous in this case in hosting Jean Napier as a photographer who wished to encourage the staff at Halo to see the landscape that surrounded them with fresh eyes. There is a sculptural park at Halo Foods in Tywyn commissioned several years ago and this residency confirms the importance of the visual arts in enhancing the ethos and environment in this workplace and contributing to the interest and well-being of staff..
		Jean led a large group of volunteer staff in walks over the land collecting images. The workshops concentrated on aspects of looking and seeing rather than technical aspects of photography. She also had the opportunity to develop her own series of work based on the many contemporary design elements commissioned by the Halo Foods director over the years.
		Budgets were set aside to ensure that a professionally developed exhibition of work produced by the group of participants could be mounted at the Museum of Modern Art Wales at The Tabernacle in Machynlleth and for tour to other venues..
