Catrin Llwyd | Beyond the Frame | Tu Hwnt i’r Ffram
Month: April 2016
Curatorial Residency: Catrin Llwyd
As part of the wider residency activity, Louise Hobson invited artist Catrin Llwyd to take on our Jane Phillips Award Studio in Elysium Studios, supporting Catrin to explore the production, presentation and development of new work.
Catrin’s art practice explores the everyday spaces and objects within our environment. She explores the unseen, the everyday and the mundane. The works are drawn from memory and pre-existing imagery, including photographs, video stills and images from social media, and contemporary and historical events. Interested in the potential of painting and how this medium can change a viewers perception of a space, she re-appropriates found imagery to create new, simplified objects. Her work is a continuous development where many of the paintings and objects are created using previous works, allowing for an ever-changing dialogue.

A Response to Swansea International Festival: Jonathan Arndell
the […] space and Offsite @ National Waterfront Museum | Jonathan Arndell and Dafydd Williams
05 April – 08 May 2016
Following Jonathan’s Swansea International Festival Residency at the Jane Phillips Award Studio at Elysium High Street Studios last year, the work developed can now be seen at both Mission Gallery and the National Waterfront Museum.
Jonathan uses found objects to explore ideas around abandonment and the consequent gradual disintegration of human-made environments and artefacts. His work as an architect over 40 years has involved the re-invention of existing buildings for new uses. He has often had to explore buildings that have been empty for many years and is fascinated by the ‘stuff’ that people have chosen to leave behind when vacating these spaces.
Jonathan’s response to the SIF takes this aspect of his work and uses it to explore the nature of barriers to the appreciation of ‘high art’ and asks: ‘Why is it so difficult to engage a greater cross-section of our community in the festival?’
In collaboration with Jonathan Arndell, photographer and artist Dafydd Williams, a 3rd year Photography in the Arts student studying at UWTSD, Swansea, has created a series of images that speak of trace; what once was, and what we leave behind.
