WOODLAND PROJECT/ PROSIECT COETIR

As a textile artist, I am inspired by the relationship between mankind and nature.  I try to reflect their spiritual bond as well as interpreting the ways that nature reclaims the landscape after we have damaged it. 

Megis brodwraig, byddaf i’n cael fy ysbrydoli gan y cysylltiad rhwng dynoliaeth a natur.  Byddaf i’n ceisio adlewyrchu  eu cadwyn ysbrydol  yn ogystal â chyfieithu’r dulliau y bydd natur yn adennill y dirwedd ar ôl inni beri niwed iddi hi. 

Brambles cover this patch of post-industrial wasteground.  Although they provide food and shelter for birds and other wildlife, they are preventing tree saplings from growing.  Local inhabitants cannot gain access and appreciate the biodiversity of the area because of the dense undergrowth. 

Mae llwyni drysi dros y darn o dir diffaith, ôl-ddiwydiannol hwn.  Er eu bod nhw’n darparu bwyd a chysgod ar gyfer adar a bywyd gwyllt arall, maen nhw’n rhwystro coed ifanc rhag tyfu.  Dydy trigolion ddim yn cael mynediad neu werthfawrogi bioamrywiaeth yr ardal am fod y prysgwydd trwchus.

This project should give positive results in a variety of ways.  As I work the woodIand in an ecologically sensitive way, I will find inspiration as a textile artist.  I hope to display my work in this living art gallery.  Through links with the local community and schools, the woodland will develop into a recreational and educational resource.  My thanks go to officers of Bridgend County Borough Council for their support and help.
 
Dylai’r prosiect hwn roi canlyniadau positif mewn amrywiaeth o ddulliau.
Wrth imi weithio’r coetir mewn dull sensitif i’r ecoleg , byddaf i’n cael ysbrydoli  megis brodwraig.  Gobeithiaf y gallaf i ddangos fy ngwaith yn yr arddangosfa fyw hon.  Drwy gysylltu ag ysgolion lleol a’r gymuned, datblygir y coetir fel adnoddau adloniadol ac addysgol.  Diolch o galon i swyddogion Cyngor Bwrdeistref Siriol Pen-y-bont ar Ogwr am eu cefnogaeth a’u cymorth.
