The Curious Moaning of Kenfig Burrows is an artist's book by Sophy
Rickett. The book documents Rickett's encounter with the life and work
of Thereza Dillwyn Llewelyn, a Welsh artist and astronomer active at the
end of the C19th. Through photography and text, Rickett charts her
(often unsuccessful) journey towards making sense of the Dillwyn
Llewelyn family's fascinating, yet sprawling and complex archive. Taking
as a starting point, the incompleteness of the archive, its
inconsistencies and apparent misattributions, Rickett produces a series
of text and image based responses to this remote world of Victorian
privilege with its close associations to the early history of
photography.
