hot frosty morning

While seeing a silent frosty field during lockdown, there were some warm colours in the foliage. I thought about ongoing conflicting elements of climate-change, as hot and cold, being contained within the one small field, like a sensitive area of the land body. I tried to capture those elements in paint. The compositions are inspired by ‘Monet’ and ‘Seurat’ paintings of trees.

bore rhewllyd poeth

Wrth weld cae rhewllyd a thawel yn ystod y cyfnod clo, roedd rhai lliwiau cynnes yn y dail. Meddyliais am yr elfennau gwrthgyferbyniol o newid hinsawdd sy’n digwydd, fel poeth ac oer, yn cael eu cynnwys o fewn yr un cae bach, fel rhan sensitif o gorff y tir. Ceisiais ddal yr elfennau hynny mewn paent. Y cyfansoddiad yn ysbrydoledig gan ‘Monet’ a ‘Seurat’ paentiadau o goeden.

lost and found

As coastal erosions reveal unseen archaeology, other parts are lost, such as fossils; as the coastal landscape everywhere is in slow motion transition.. The painting is inspired by projects such as ‘Cherish; Climate Change and Coastal Heritage’ which works with coast and archaeology.

And inspired by recently found fossils on the Jurassic coast.

colli a darganfod

Wrth i erydiadau arfordirol ddatgelu archeoleg sydd heb ei gweld o’r blaen, mae rhannau eraill, fel ffosiliau, yn cael eu colli; gan fod tirwedd yr arfordir ym mhobman yn newid yn araf bach…

Mae’r paentiad wedi’i ysbrydoli gan y prosiect ‘Cherish; Newid Hinsawdd a Threftadaeth Arfordirol’ sy’n gweithio gyda’r arfordir ac archeoleg.

Ac ar ffosiliau y bu ffeindio yn ddiweddar ar yr arfordir Jwrasig.
