We often look at objects and perceive them as static, but it doesnt take much to shift that perception enabling us to transform the regular and mundane into something else.

In order to try and come to better terms with what we experience we need a starting point from which we can compare, a kind of familiarity and yet difference, the between. The difference needs grounding as without it we cant begin to unpick its properties. Such grounding may be in how the objects are contextualised or the form, colour and techniques used. This series of work attempts to play with what we experience to present another way of seeing.


Byddwn yn edrych ar wrthrychau ac yn eu hystyried yn bethau disymud yn aml, ond ychydig sydd angen ei wneud i newid y syniad hwnnw gan ein galluogi i weddnewid y cyfarwydd a’r cyffredin yn rhywbeth arall.

Er mwyn ceisio dod i delerau gwell â’r hyn rydym yn ei brofi mae angen man cychwyn arnom ni y gallwn gymharu ag ef, rhyw fath o gynefindra ac eto gwahaniaeth, rhywbeth sydd rhyngddynt. Mae angen sylfaen ar y gwahaniaeth gan na allwn ddechrau datod ei nodweddion hebddo. Gall sylfaen o’r fath fod yn y modd y mae’r gwrthrychau’n cael eu gosod mewn cyd-destun neu’r ffurf, y lliw a’r technegau a ddefnyddir. Mae’r gyfres hon o waith yn ceisio chwarae gyda’r hyn rydym ni’n ei brofi er mwyn cynnig ffordd arall o weld.
