Y Porth/The Gateway

Cerflun pren wedi’i losgi / Burnt wood sculpture

Mae’r gwaith hwn wedi’i ysbrydoli gan agoriadau a llwybrau Castell Caernarfon. Mae’r ffurf yn tynnu’r llygad drwy’r pren sycamorwydden, gan greu ymdeimlad o ddyfnder a chryfder.

Mae’r tu allan wedi’i losgi, gan greu wyneb tywyll a gweadog, tra bod y tu mewn wedi’i sandio a’i sgleinio i ddatgelu cynhesrwydd a graen y pren. Mae’r cyferbyniad yn awgrymu gwydnwch tawel, rhywbeth sy’n dod drwy’r tân ac yn parhau’n hardd.

This piece is inspired by the openings and passageways of Caernarfon Castle. The form draws the eye through the sycamore, creating a sense of depth and strength.

The outside has been burned to create a dark, textured surface, while the inside is sanded and polished to reveal the warmth and grain of the wood. The contrast suggests a quiet resilience, something that comes through the fire and remains beautiful.
