Fel Cymraes, rwy’n teimlo’r angen i ddeall a gwarchod fy hunaniaeth, ond rwyf hefyd yn ymwybodol o’r ddelwedd ystrydebol sydd gan eraill o ddiwylliant Cymru. Oherwydd hyn, dechreuais ymddiddori mewn agweddau ar y traddodiad Cymreig sy’n llai amlwg i bobl. Mae gen i ddiddordeb arbennig mewn coelion gwerin ac hen ddywediadau. Trwy greu gwrthrychau newydd yn seiliedig ar ddeunydd hanesyddol, rwy’n gobeithio dysgu pobl am goelion ac arferion traddodiadol Cymreig mewn ffordd ddifyr ac anarferol.
Coming from a Welsh speaking background, I have felt a need to explore and protect my own Welsh identity, but I am also aware of the stereotypical way the Welsh are perceived by others. Because of this, I became interested in looking at aspects of Welsh tradition which are not so well known. I am particularly interested in folk beliefs and old Welsh sayings. By creating new designs and artefacts based on historical material, I hope to inform people about beliefs and customs that are part of Welsh tradition in an interesting but non-stereotypical way.
