Collection: Zoe Lewthwaite
Mae ymarfer artistig Zoe wedi’i wreiddio yn llonyddwch Penrhyn Llŷn. Mae ei hangerdd tuag at arlunio a daniwyd pan yn ddwy oed yn parhau i yrru ei thaith greadigol. Mae Zoe bellach yn gweithio fel artist annibynnol ac argraffydd tecstilau o’i stiwdio newydd yn Llanbedrog, yn dilyn sawl blwyddyn wedi’i lleoli yng Nghanolfan Grefft Aberuchaf yn Abersoch, gogledd Cymru.
Ar ôl derbyn gradd Anrhydedd Dosbarth Cyntaf mewn Dylunio Tecstilau o Ysgol Gelf Manceinion yn 2016, ynghyd ag ennill dwy wobr ar ôl graddio, mae Zoe wedi datblygu ei phrofiad fel artist tecstilau ymhellach. Mae hi wedi mireinio ei argraffiadau tecstilau tra’n dyfnhau ei chysylltiad â’r tirwedd lleol a’r arfordir, sydd yn ei hysbrydoli ac yn darparu deunyddiau ar gyfer ei gwaith eco-ymwybodol.
Mae Zoe yn arbrofi gyda pigmentau naturiol ac yn eu defnyddio ar ffibrau naturiol yn bennaf, gan wthio ei hymarfer â'i hymrwymiad i gynaliadwyedd. Trwy ei gwaith, mae'n dathlu rhinweddau iachusol celf, gan gynnig archwiliad personol ond ystyrlon o'r amherffaith a'r organig. Mae ei phroses yn dechrau gyda darluniau inc a siarcol digymell ar roliau mawr o bapur, gan annog hylifedd a chofleidio amherffeithrwydd sy'n aml yn arwain at ei darnau mwyaf gwerthfawr.
Mae ei hangerdd at argraffu sgrin yn ei galluogi i drosglwyddo’r darluniau amrwd, llawn mynegiant hyn i decstilau, lle mae’r marciau brwsh trawiadol a phaentiadol o’i darluniau gwreiddiol yn cael eu cadw, yn nodwedd ddiffiniol o’i gwaith ac yn ymgorfforiad o’i chysylltiad â lle a phroses.
Zoe’s artistic practice is rooted in the tranquility of the Llŷn Peninsula. A lifelong passion for drawing, ignited at age two, continues to drive her creative journey, where she now works as an independent artist and textile printmaker from her new studio in Llanbedrog, following several years based at Aberuchaf Craft Centre in Abersoch, north Wales.
After receiving a First Class Honours degree in Textile Design from the Manchester School of Art in 2016, along with two awards upon graduation, Zoe has further developed her experience as a textile artist. She has refined her textile printmaking while deepening her connection to the local landscape and coastline, both of which inspire and provide materials for her eco-conscious work.
Zoe experiments with natural pigments and primarily uses natural fibres, aligning her practice with her commitment to sustainability.
Through her practice, she celebrates the healing qualities of art, offering a personal yet meaningful exploration of the imperfect and the organic. Her process begins with spontaneous ink and charcoal drawings on large rolls of paper, encouraging fluidity and embracing imperfections that often lead to her most treasured pieces.
Her passion for screen-printing enables her to transfer these raw, expressive drawings onto textiles, where the brushstrokes and painterly marks from her original drawings are preserved, becoming a defining feature of her work and an embodiment of her connection to place and process.
