Collection: Moss Carroll

Mae Moss Carroll yn arlunydd a gwneuthurwr printiau a anwyd yng Nghaerdydd ym 1994.
“Wedi’i fysbrydoli gan fy siwrneiau trwy wahanol amgylcheddau naturiol, rwy’n archwilio tirweddau a grymoedd natur. Mae fy ngwaith yn deillio o fy mhrofiadau uniongyrchol. Rwy’n ymgymryd â theithiau helaeth ar droed, heicio a gwersylla, ac rwy’n dogfennu fy nghanfyddiadau mewn dyfrlliwiau a lluniadau. Mae’r dull hwn o deithio’n araf, a arweinir yn aml gan amryfuseddau siawns, yn bwydo naratif barddonol fy ngwaith.
Rwy’n archwilio eiliadau rhyfeddol rwy’n eu gweld a natur fawreddog fy mhrofiadau. Gan astudio newidiadau mewn golau a thymhorau, fy nod yw plicio’r wyneb yn ôl i ddarparu gweledigaeth y tu hwnt i’r ffisegol.
Gan droi fy mhrofiad i beintiadau a phrintiau lled-haniaethol, rwy’n alinio fy ngwaith â straeon y diwylliannau rwy’n mynd drwyddynt, gan eu cyfuno i greu mytholeg o’r tir a’r elfennau.
Rwy’n defnyddio dulliau arloesol o gyfryngau cymysg, dyfrlliwiau ac inc mewn paentiadau haniaethol aml-haenog. Rwy’n ceisio gwthio ffiniau’r cyfryngau trwy brosesau cemegol arbrofol.
Mae eu gwerthoedd mynegiannol a symbolaidd yn ymchwilio i’r isymwybod ac yn chwilio am ddatgelu ymateb cyntefig.
Mewn printio, rwy'n gweithio mewn cymysgedd gwreiddiol o fonoprint a chine collé. Rwy'n harneisio potensial gweadau cynnil a chain sydd ar gael mewn printio i haenu strata lled-dryloyw. Fy nod yw creu delweddau dyfnach na'r tirweddau eu hunain.  Rwy'n awgrymu’n gynnil cymhlethdod cydblethedig natur a'n bodolaeth fel rhan ohoni.
Mae fy ngweithiau'n cynnig ffenestr i'r hyn sydd y tu hwnt i'n ffiniau materol. Maent yn trafod ein cysylltiad dros dro â'r ddaear, ac yn adlewyrchu rhywbeth o drawsgynnyrch profiad dynol.
Gan weithio rhwng yr Eidal a Chymru, rwyf wedi arddangos yn y DU ac yn rhyngwladol. Rwyf wedi astudio o dan ysgoloriaeth yn Fondazione il Bisonte yn Fflorens ac mae gennyf weithiau yng nghasgliad Llyfrgell Genedlaethol Cymru.”

Moss Carroll is a  painter and printmaker, born in Cardiff in 1994.
“Inspired by my journeys through different natural environments, I explore landscapes and the forces of nature. My work stems from my first-hand experiences. I undertake extensive journeys on foot, hitchhiking and camping, and I document my findings in watercolours and drawings. This method of slow travelling, often led by the vagaries of chance, feeds the poetic narrative of my work.
I explore astounding moments I witness and the sublime nature of my experiences. Studying light and temporal changes, I aim to peel back the surface to provide a vision beyond the physical. 
Materialising my experience into semi-abstract painting and printmaking, I align my work with stories of the cultures I pass through, combining them to create a mythology of the land and the elements.
I utilise innovative approaches to mixed media, watercolour and ink in multi-layered abstract paintings. I try to push the boundaries of the mediums through experimental chemical processes. 
Their expressive and symbolic values delve into the subconscious and search to unearth a primal response.
In printmaking, I work in an original blend of monoprint and chine collé. I harness the potential of subtle and delicate textures obtainable in printmaking to layer semi-transparent strata. I aim to create images deeper than the landscapes themselves, iridescent and breathing. I hint at the interwoven complexity of nature and our existence as a part of it.
My works offer a window into what lies beyond our material boundaries. They discuss our transient connection with the earth, and reflect something of the transcendence of human experience.

Working between Italy and Wales, I have exhibited in the UK and internationally. I have studied under a scholarship at Fondazione il Bisonte in Florence and have works in the National Library of Wales collection.”
