Collection: Elin Huws

Ers graddio o Goleg Celf Caeredin, Prifysgol Caeredin yn 1999 gyda gradd dosbarth cyntaf mewn Tapestri a chwblhau gradd Meistr yn yr un coleg, mae Elin wedi arddangos ei gwaith hyd a lled Cymru a thramor. Mae’n byw yn Llanbedrog ac yn athrawes gelf a dylunio yn Ysgol Uwchradd Botwnnog.

Mae ei gwaith sydd yn cynnwys gwehyddiadau tapestri a lluniadau wedi'i ysbrydoli gan dirluniau, morluniau a barddoniaeth Cymru.

Meddai Elin: “Byddaf yn ail-greu llinellau, ffurfiau a ffiniau tir, môr ac awyr. Nid trosiad llythrennol mohonynt ond myfyrdodau ac atgofion o’r synnwyr o le. Boed yn waith lluniadu neu wehyddu datblyga’r gwaith mewn modd organig sydd yn gadael ôl fy llaw drwy grafu’r haenau yn y gwaith lluniadu ac amrywio tyndra’r gwlân yn y gwaith gwehyddu. Rwyf yn mwynhau’r gwrthdaro rhwng natur lafurus, ailadroddus gwehyddu a chyflymdra bywyd cyfoes.”

Yn ogystal ag arddangos ledled Cymru gan gynnwys sawl arddangosfa yma ym Mhlas Glyn-y-Weddw, mae Elin wedi arddangos yn yr Ariannin, Siapan, Hwngari, Yr Almaen, Caeredin a Llundain. Yn 1999 enillodd Ysgoloriaeth Artist Ifanc yn yr Eisteddfod Genedlaethol.

Since graduating from Edinburgh College of Art, University of Edinburgh in 1999 with a first class honours degree in Tapestry followed by a Masters degree at the same college, Elin has exhibited widely throughout Wales and abroad. She lives in Llanbedrog and is an art and design teacher at Botwnnog High School.

Her work which includes tapestry weaving and drawings, is inspired by the landscapes, seascapes and poetry of Wales.

Elin said: I re-create the lines, forms and borders of the land, the sea, and the sky. They are not literal translations, but muses and memories of a sense of a place. I allow the work to develop organically, leaving hints of human intervention by scratching into the layers in the drawings and by varying the tension of the yarns. I relish the laborious, repetitive discipline of weaving, for its stark contrast to the speed of modern-day life.

As well as exhibiting widely in Wales, and having exhibited regularly here at Plas Glyn-y-Weddw, Elin has exhibited in Argentina, Japan, Hungary, Germany, Edinburgh and London. In 1999 she won the Young Artist Scholarship at the National Eisteddfod.
