Seramegydd wedi’i selio yn Abertawe yw Christine Jones ac fe cafodd ei harddangosfa unigol cyntaf ‘Clay Circles’ yn Oriel Mission (Oriel Gelf Gweithdy Abertawe) yn 1985.
“Clay is primary, itself magical in it’s transformation from soft clay to hard ceramic. The material, the technique of coiling and form are central. The colour, light and space of the coastline of Wales are my inspiration and passion. Recently, wishing to add another dimension to my work, I spent a year documenting the sky and the ocean. Recording the ever changing light and colour has directly influenced the ideas for the new work and prompted my interest in the tradition of pattern. Pattern is fundamental to nature, the essence, a crystallization. Unifying form, colour and pattern.
I hope the vessels convey a sense of space and clarity, whilst still containing the energy and joy of making. It is my continuing aspiration to make vessels that have presence and spirit”.
Caiff y clai ei liwio gyda staen ac ocsidau. Adeiladir y llestr ar sylfaen ‘pinch pot’ gyda dau neu dri coil yn cael ei adio bob dydd, gan gymryd pythefnos neu mwy i’w cyflawni. Mae ffurfiau a lliwiau ei darnau yn cael eu parchu gan gasglwyr preifat a chyhoeddus, yn genedlaethol a rhyngwladol, gan gynnwys Amgueddfa Cenedlaethol Cymru, Caerdydd, Casgliad Sainsbury, Norwich ac Amgueddfa Gelf Metropolitan, Efrog Newydd.
