My work is currently exploring texture and abstraction, with acrylic paint being my main medium through the repetitive motion of building layers. I am presently experimenting with wallpaper and plaster, by layering through a variety of applications, such as sanding, mark making and gestural brushstrokes, mostly with the use palette knifes and scrapers. I’m interested in the materiality of the work and how the layers are applied, to expose a variety of traces within a piece, and then concealing and revealing that process. There is a definite interest in revealing the past through removing top layers and bringing them back into the present, through the themes of time, history, and nostalgia. These themes are presented through my inspiration from the likes of household interiors through the inclusion of wallpaper and artex like patterning.
Mae fy ngwaith cyfredol yn ystyried gwead a haniaeth, gan ddefnyddio paent acrylig fel fy mhrif gyfrwng gan adeiladu haenau drwy’r symudiadau ailadroddus. Ar hyn o bryd rwy’n arbrofi gyda phapur wal a phlastr, gan greu haenau drwy gyfrwng cymwysiadau amrywiol, megis taenu tywod, creu marciau a thrawiadau brwsh ystumiol, yn bennaf gan ddefnyddio cyllyll palet a chrafwyr. Rwy’n ymddiddori ym materoliaeth y gwaith a’r modd y mae’r haenau’n cael eu cymhwyso, er mwyn datgelu amrywiaeth o arlliwiau o fewn y darn, ac yna guddio a datgelu’r broses honno. Mae diddordeb pendant mewn datgelu’r gorffennol drwy dynnu’r haenau uchaf a dod â nhw yn ôl i’r presennol, drwy themâu amser, hanes, a nostalgia. Cyflwynir y themâu yma drwy fy ysbrydoliaeth o bethau fel y tu mewn i’r cartref drwy gynnwys patrymau papur wal ac artecs.
