Y Nefoedd yn Toddi i’r Tir
Rhiannon Gwyn was raised in Sling - a quarrying village in north Wales. Her work reflects the rugged beauty of her home landscape by using the physical qualities of Welsh slate and other locally sourced materials. Porcelain bowls, coloured with a glaze made of local gorse flower, are nestled upon slate shelves that have been shaped through a process of heating and melting.
Bowl, porcelain, sitting on a slate base; the bowl round with inset base, a gorse-ash blue glaze streaked with green around the rim, heavily dripped and incorporating slate fragments; the base a block of kiln-fired Welsh slate, its strata separating and slipping, the top layer slumped over one edge.
