"After the first lockdown in 2020, photographer Brynley Odu Davies, who was brought up in Bath, studied photography at Bath College and now lives in London, was inspired to start up a major project. The aim was to highlight the resilience of artists, and now the finished collection, which has just had its first exhibition in London's Studio West, is made up of pictures of more than 200 working artists from across the UK, including Bath. 
 
The entire project. which took three years, now exists as an unparalleled archive, presenting a panoptic picture of the creatives who are shaping the UK's contemporary art world, and will determine its future. Here we talk to Brynley about how Bath shaped his career, the making of this project, and his plans for the future."
