Teimladau, emosiwn, breuddwydion a thirwedd Cymru - dyma’r
elfennau pwysicaf sy’n sail i’m gweledigaeth fel arlunydd.
Gan ddefnyddio deunydd cyffredin a chyfarwydd, ymdrechaf i greu iaith weledol
sy’n cynnwys symbolau, arwyddion a lliw. Trwyddynt, medraf wneud synnwyr
o’r byd o’m cwmpas.
Rhan bwysig o’r broses greadigol i mi yw ail gerdded llwybrau cudd fy mywyd
a thrwy hynny, dweud stori.
Trwy ddefnyddio atgofion a myfyrio dros ddigwyddiadau o’r gorffennol mae
hi’n bosibl i sefydlu hunaniaeth fel arlunydd, gan greu o’r hunan
a chofnodi hanesyn unigolyn.
Feelings, emotions, dreams, memories
and the landscape of Wales-
these are the main themes that underpin my work.
Using familiar and ordinary concepts I attempt to create a visual language of
symbols, signs and colour through which I can make sense of the world and life
in general.
An integral part of the creative process for me is to rediscover hidden and
forgotten paths that have played an important part in my life and in doing so
tell a story of that journey.
Through the use of memory and the investigation of past incidents, I find it
possible to establish an identity as an artist and thus record a narrative of
the self.
