Collection: Eleanor Whiteman

Mae fy nghefndir mewn Daeareg a ffotograffiaeth wedi dyfnhau fy mherthynas â’r tirwedd, o ddyddiau oerfellyd yn mapio’r creigiau fel myfyriwr, i oriau a dreuliwyd yn cerdded llwybr y clogwyn gyda fy nghamera. Mae cerdded a chysylltu â’r tirwedd yn rhan bwysig o fy mhroses gan fod hyn yn caniatáu i ddisgwrs ddatblygu gyda lle sydd bob amser yn esblygu a byth yn statig. Rwy'n byw ac yn gweithio yng Nghaerffili felly mae gennyf fynediad hawdd i'r arfordir, ac mae ei ddaeareg unigryw yn ffynhonnell gyson o ysbrydoliaeth. Mae gen i ddiddordeb mewn meddwl am amser yn nhermau haenau, mewn ystyr llythrennol a chysyniadol ac mae'r themâu hyn o dir ac amser dwfn yn ailadroddus trwy gydol fy ymarfer. Rwyf wedi defnyddio llawer o brosesau gwahanol mewn ymgais i fynegi’n weledol y cysyniadau o amser a thirwedd gan gynnwys leino a thorri pren, ysgythriad, mono print, paentio a ffotograffiaeth.

My background in Geology and photography has deepened my relationship with the landscape, from bitterly cold days mapping the rocks as a student, to hours spent walking the cliff path with my camera. Walking and connecting with the landscape are an important part of my process as this allows a discourse to develop with a place that is always evolving and never static. I live and work in Caerphilly so have easy access to the coast, and its unique Geology is a constant source of inspiration. I’m interested in thinking about time in terms of layers, both in a literal and conceptual sense and these themes of land and deep time are recurrent throughout my practice. I have used many different processes to express visually the concepts of time and landscape including lino and woodcut, etching, mono print, painting and photography.
