Gwaith Cerameg

….

….

My recent ceramic work is the result of a transition from a background in printmaking using clay as a three-dimensional canvas on which to apply the same themes and design concepts that influenced my Lino cuts, buildings, places and landscape

My work is generally hand built, and slip decorated with colourful painted and scratched designs, with oxides applied to accentuate the texture and line.

The items I produce range from functional ware to tall sculptural vessels and curved freestanding pictures, linking a two-dimensional element to the three-dimensional forms.

Mae fy ngwaith cerameg diweddar yn ganlyniad o drawsnewid o gefndir mewn creu printiau i ddefnyddio clai fel cynfas tri-dimensiwn i gymhwyso'r un themâu a chysyniadau dylunio a ddylanwadodd ar fy nhoriadau leino, adeiladau, lleoedd a thirwedd.

Fel rheol, mae fy ngwaith yn cael ei adeiladu â llaw, a’i addurno â slip ynghyd â dyluniadau lliwgar wedi'u paentio a'u crafu,  gydag ocsidiau'n cael eu defnyddio i amlygu’r gweadedd a'r llinell.

Mae'r eitemau rwy'n eu cynhyrchu'n amrywio o ddarnau ffwythiannol i lestri cerfluniol tal a lluniau crwm sy'n sefyll yn rhydd, gan gysylltu elfen dau-ddimensiwn â'r ffurfiau tri-dimensiwn.
