Becky Adams is a collector of stories, discarded objects and old things and use them to make artworks that tell a new tale.

For this show at Ruthin Craft Centre, Becky has created an imaginary seaside town, predominantly made from book covers rescued from landfill. There are several houses, a light house, a post office, and even a haberdashery to be found there. Several of the pieces are inspired by real buildings such as the Art Shop in Abergavenny (an old watercolour paint box nestles in its wall) and the wonderful Whitechapel Bell Foundry.

Last summer, she found a broken toy piano on the corner of our street– it now forms the canopy for a Music Shop in her imaginary town. You will find a mobile library in the town too – it is on wheels and whispers “quiet, please”.

28 Mawrth – 28 Mehefin 2026

Mae Becky Adams yn gasglwr straeon, gwrthrychau wedi’u gwaredu a hen bethau mae hi’n eu defnyddio i greu gweithiau celf sy’n adrodd stori newydd.

Ar gyfer yr arddangosfa hon yng Nghanolfan Grefft Rhuthun mae Becky wedi creu tref glan môr ddychmygol, a wnaed yn bennaf o gloriau llyfrau wedi’u hachub o gladdfa sbwriel. Mae nifer o dai, goleudy, swyddfa bost, a siop nwyddau gwnïo hyd yn oed i’w canfod yno. Cafodd sawl darn ei ysbrydoli gan adeiladau go iawn fel yr Art Shop yn y Fenni (mae hen focs dyfrlliw yn swatio yn ei wal) a’r godidog Whitechapel Bell Foundry.

Yr haf diwethaf, daeth o hyd i hen biano tegan wedi torri ar gornel ei stryd – mae bellach yn ffurfio canopi ar gyfer y siop gerddoriaeth yn ei thref ddychmygol. Byddwch yn dod o hyd i lyfrgell deithiol yn y dref hefyd – mae hi ar olwynion ac yn sibrwd “tawelwch os gwelwch yn dda”.
