My journey over the past few months of this project has been to submerge myself into the world of surface Pattern. I’ve had to learn the process from start to finish and find my own sense of style when it came to create my prints. I have learnt a lot over the past few months, this you will see in my outcomes. My work consists of hand drawn sketches and Water colour paintings that have been digitalised through photoshop and illustrator then printed onto Fabric or Ceramics. My work also consists of digital Stitch as I felt some textual elements of surface pattern would fit in with my collection of work. The context that my collection originates from is the natural beauty of the welsh countryside, my fascination with tea rings and my experience in Amsterdam interpreted in abstract forms and motifs to create original collections of surface patterns.


Fy nhaith dros fisoedd diwethaf y prosiect hwn oedd trwytho fy hun ym myd patrwm ar arwynebau. Dwi wedi gorfod dysgu’r broses o’r dechrau i’r diwedd a dod o hyd i fy arddull fy hun wrth greu fy mhrintiau. Dwi wedi dysgu llawer dros y misoedd diwethaf, a byddwch chi’n gweld hyn yn fy nghanlyniadau. Mae fy ngwaith yn cynnwys brasluniau a dynnwyd â llaw a phaentiadau dyfrlliw sydd wedi’u digideiddio trwy Photoshop ac Illustrator ac yna eu hargraffu ar ffabrig neu gerameg. Mae fy ngwaith yn cynnwys pwytho digidol hefyd gan fy mod i’n teimlo y byddai rhai elfennau testunol o batrwm ar arwynebau yn cyd-fynd â’m casgliad o waith. Y cyd-destun y mae fy nghasgliad yn deillio ohono yw harddwch naturiol cefn gwlad Cymru, fy niddordeb mewn teisennau tea ring a’m profiad yn Amsterdam, a dwi’n eu dehongli mewn ffurfiau a motiffau haniaethol i greu casgliadau gwreiddiol o batrymau arwyneb.
