Tan â Llif – [sut i fynd] i mewn ac allan o’r cabinet: [how to get] into and out of the cabinet
I’m excited to announce that Carreg Creative, a new partnership between Lisa Hudson and I, has been commissioned by Oriel Celf Gyfoes Genedlaethol i Gymru/Wales Contemporary Art Gallery and Storiel, Bangor.
Dyma’r manylion - here are details, and an invitation to take part (March - April 2024):
Ar gyfer ein comisiwn, mae Carreg Creative (gyda Wanda Zyborska) yn gwahodd pobl greadigol lle mae eu hymarfer yn canolbwyntio ar gydweithio, proses ac ymgysylltu, i gymryd rhan mewn ‘sgwrs chwilgar’ (ar-lein/yn Storiel).
Bydd y ‘sgwrs chwilgar’ yn archwilio [sut i fynd] i mewn ac allan o'r cabinet. Sut gallai ein harfer ymgysylltiol fod yn berthnasol i oriel gelf gyfoes genedlaethol Cymru (gwefan Celf ar y Cyd) a chasgliad Storiel? Bydd y ‘sgwrs chwilgar’ hon ynddo’i hun yn rhan o, ac yn arwain at greu gwaith ar gyfer y cabinet a thu hwnt. Bydd rhan o'n gweithgarwch ar y cyd yn cynnwys gwahanol fathau o ddogfennaeth i [casglu? Cynrychioli? Gwneud yn weledol?] ac adlewyrchu ar natur a lleoliad y gelfyddyd ymgysylltiedig - sut mae'n amlygu neu gwireddu ei hun?
Mae Carreg Creative yn bartneriaeth sy’n dylunio, darparu a chefnogi ymarfer sy’n ymgysylltu’n gymdeithasol ac yn amgylcheddol er mwyn archwilio’r posibilrwydd o fyd mwy cysylltiedig.
Carreg Creative is a partnership that designs, delivers and supports socially and environmentally engaged practice in order to explore the possibility of a more connected world.

For our commission, Carreg Creative (with Wanda Zyborska) are inviting creatives whose practice focuses on collaboration, process and engagement* to take part in a ‘curious conversation’ (online/in Storiel). The conversation will explore [how to get] into and out of the cabinet. How could our engaged practice relate to the national contemporary art gallery for Wales (Celf ar y Cyd website) and Storiel’s collection?
Our starting point for our ‘curious conversation’ will be:
Tan â Llif (poster BECA) by Paul Davies in Storiel’s collection
Mappa Mundi by Paul Davies on Celf ar y Cyd website and Michael Iwanowski’s ‘Map according to You’ on Celf ar y Cyd
[*The ‘outside the gallery’ nature of engaged contemporary practice often results in artefacts/art works as a parallel strand of collaborative, embodied activity which encompasses conversation, performance, film, sound and installation. These are difficult to ‘contain’ or represent within a ‘cabinet’, whether the cabinet of a website (Celf ar y Cyd) or a physical cabinet (at Storiel) and even within the ‘cabinet’ of the art world as a whole.]

This week, I invited two artist friends to look at my collection of objects and fragments that I’ve dug from the garden. I wanted to know whether others would find something in them, even though they haven’t ‘discovered’ them themselves in the same way, in the sense of digging them up, but in discovering them in my ‘collection’ in the barn. Inspired by Rebecca Solnit, this is what I found out...
