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.

Sophy Rickett is an artist who works with photography and text. A graduate of the Royal College of Art, solo exhibitions of her work include Kettles Yard, Cambridge, De La Warr Pavilion, Bexhill; Chateau de Lichtenberg, France; Arnolfini, Bristol; Museum of the History of Science, Oxford. Group exhibitions include Baltic Mill, UK; Pasquart, Biel/ Bienne, Switzerland; Galleria Civica, Modena, Italy; Centre Pompidou, Paris; Il Museo di Trento, Italy; Moscow Museum of Modern Art, Russia. Her work is held in many private and public collections including UK Government Art Collection; Pompidou Collection, Paris; Federal Reserve, Washington; Fondazione Sandretto Rebaudengo, Italy, Victoria and Albert Museum, London.
