Collection: Alex Boyd Jones

Mae'r lluniadau o amgylcheddau mynyddig yn adlewyrchu mwynhad personol a diddordeb mewn craig, daeareg, amser, golau, a'r symudiad cyson sy'n llunio'r dirwedd. Yn aml, mae mynyddoedd yn ymddangos yn barhaol, ond maent yn cael eu ffurfio a'u trawsnewid gan brosesau parhaus o godi, erydiad, a thywydd sy'n datblygu dros amserlenni ymhell y tu hwnt i'n profiadau byrhoedlog. Mae golau sy'n mynd heibio yn datgelu'r creigiau, y llithriadau a'r ceunentydd, gan olrhain yr arwynebau symudol hyn a nodi amser dwfn.

The drawings of mountainous environments reflect a personal enjoyment and fascination with rock, geology, time, light, and the constant movement that shapes the landscape. Mountains often appear permanent, yet they are formed and transformed by ongoing processes of uplift, erosion, and weathering that unfold over timescales far beyond our fleeting experiences. Passing light reveals the crags, slips and chasms, tracing these shifting surfaces and marking deep time.
