{"title":"Jeremy Stiff","description":"\u003cp\u003eRoeddwn i'n byw yn Llundain ac yn gweithio fel saer coed yn fy ugeiniau a dechrau fy nhridegau, ac yng nghanol fy nhridegau cymerwyd fy mywyd drosodd gan ddiddordeb newydd mewn celf. Astudiais gerflunwaith ffigurol yn Stafford a symudais i Gymru ym 1997 ac rwyf wedi byw yma ers hynny. Cefais radd MA mewn celf yn UWIC yn 2007.\u003cbr\u003eDechreuodd y gweithiau sydd yn yr arddangosfa hon yng ngwanwyn 2025 o dan y thema Ensemble, a ddewiswyd ar gyfer arddangosfa ar y cyd â fy ngwraig. Roedd fy arbrofion cychwynnol yn drefniadau gofodol minimalaidd iawn o ddarnau o bren a esblygodd wedyn yn undebau cysylltiedig wedi'u hadeiladu gan ddefnyddio dur a phren.\u003cbr\u003eMae'r tri gwaith hyn, Kiss, Posit a Beacon, yn gosod y deunyddiau naturiol a dyn-wneuthuredig hyn gyda'i gilydd; i mi mae'r broses o wneud fel chwilio am ymdeimlad o gydbwysedd a barddoniaeth. Datblygodd y gweithiau hyn o brosesau gwneud ac arbrofi gyda phosibiliadau esthetig y deunyddiau eu hunain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e I lived in London and worked as a carpenter in my twenties and early thirties, and in my mid-thirties a renewed fascination in art took over my life. I studied figurative sculpture in Stafford and moved to Wales in 1997 and have lived here since, I gained an MA in art at UWIC in 2007.  \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e These works started in the spring of 2025 under the theme of Ensemble, which was chosen for a joint exhibition with my wife. My initial experiments were very minimal spatial arrangements of pieces of wood which then evolved into constructed joined unions using steel and wood.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eThese three works, Kiss, Posit and Beacon, position these natural and manmade materials together; for me the process of making is like searching for a sense of balance and poetry. These works developed from the processes of making and experimenting with the aesthetic possibilities of the materials themselves.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0357\/3858\/3084\/collections\/Posit_side_view_2025_J_Stiff.jpg?v=1770735449","url":"https:\/\/oriel-plas-glyn-y-weddw.myshopify.com\/collections\/jan-morley-copy.oembed","provider":"Oriel Plas Glyn y Weddw","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
