Our species has become increasingly disconnected from nature. I focus on landscapes of personal significance and/or landscapes that have been disrupted by industrial use. Materials from these sites (often rocks, muds, and bricks) are used through a process-orientated medium allowing sculpture, painting and photography to be produced as a response to site. Using my physical senses, I undertake a journey in understanding the world we inhabit.
I use reproduction and repetition within my practice to communicate the uncertainty of time and space which reveals itself as minimalistic interpretations of materials. Working within industrial landscape offers a response concerned with physical labour and our demand of order on the land. My practice is expressed as site specific and site responsive – this is dependent on what the site calls for, but once removed acts as a form of hidden cartography.
The intention is not to leave a permanent mark, but to mirror what is known and what could be learnt through interpreting a conscious experience. Mae ein rhywogaeth yn datgysylltu’n gynyddol oddi wrth fyd natur.
Rwy’n canolbwyntio ar dirluniau o arwyddocâd personol a/neu dirluniau y tarfwyd arnynt gan ddefnydd diwydiannol. Defnyddir deunyddiau o’r safleoedd yma (creigiau, mwd, a briciau fel arfer) drwy gyfrwng sy’n deillio o broses gan ganiatáu cynhyrchu cerfluniau, peintiadau a ffotograffau mewn ymateb i’r safle. Gan ddefnyddio fy synhwyrau corfforol, rwy’n ymgymryd â thaith i ddeall y byd rydym yn byw ynddo.
Rwy’n defnyddio atgynhyrchiad ac ailadrodd o fewn fy ymarfer i gyfleu ansicrwydd amser a gofod sy’n dangos ei hun fel dehongliad minimalistaidd o ddeunydd. Mae gweithio o fewn tirlun diwydiannol yn cynnig ymateb sy’n ymwneud â llafur corfforol a’n galw am drefn ar y tir. Caiff fy ymarfer ei fynegi fel safle-benodol ac ymatebol i safle – mae hyn yn dibynnu ar ofynion y wefan, ond unwaith y caiff ei dynnu mae’n ffurf ar gartograffeg gudd.
Y bwriad yw peidio â gadael ôl parhaol, ond i adlewyrchu’r hyn sy’n hysbys a’r hyn y gellir ei ddeall drwy ddehongli profiad ymwybodol.
