Using oils on canvas and mixed media on paper, I search for devices that will enable me to create multilayered works. Digital printmaking techniques combined with painting have enabled me to produce large and small scale works incorporating material from The National Library of Wales’ collections and material from Brest University, The Irish Academy and Trinity College, Dublin. Through the juxtaposition of texts and other found material on painted and marked surfaces, the exhibition creates a celebratory procession of images, configurations and compositions. Individual pieces make reference to historic figures that were instrumental in preserving Welsh manuscripts for posterity: Ieuan Fardd, Lewis Morris, Edward Lluyd, Iolo Morgannwg and Sir John Rhŷs. Those familiar with Welsh Literature will recognise quotations from Y Gododdin, Taliesin and Y Mabinogi.

Reading ancient or foreign texts can best be tackled using a peripheral or oblique form of looking, a reading between the lines. The work is a manifestation of “the other”.
