We are delighted to share the work of the artists who took part in our Studio Sessions! The last artists are Lauren Heckler & Shanzay Subzwari, who received 3 one-to-one sessions with artist Sancintya Mohini Simpson.

"These new departures have prompted us to think deeply about intent, understanding, accountability, audience and form, supporting our development of the performance gestures that emerged from an R&D period at Powis Castle’s Clive Collection, The Glynn Vivian stores, and the National Archives, earlier this year. Our evolving project studies, embodies, imagines, and (trans)forms resonances between Welsh and Pakistani perspectives on myth, resistance, and legacies of British colonial rule."

Mae’n bleser gennym ni rannu gwaith yr artistiaid a gymerodd ran yn ein Sesiynau Stiwdio! Yr artistiaid olaf yw Lauren Heckler & Shanzay Subzwari, a gafodd 3 sesiwn un-i-un gyda’r artist Sancintya Mohini Simpson.

"Mae'r ymadawiadau newydd hyn wedi ein hannog i feddwl yn ddwfn am fwriad, dealltwriaeth, atebolrwydd, cynulleidfa a ffurf, gan gefnogi ein datblygiad o'r ystumiau perfformio a ddaeth i'r amlwg o gyfnod Ymchwil a Datblygu yng Nghasgliad Clive Castell Powis, siopau The Glynn Vivian, a'r Archifau Cenedlaethol, yn gynharach eleni. Mae ein prosiect esblygol yn astudio, yn ymgorffori, yn dychmygu, ac yn (trawsnewid)ffurfio atseinio rhwng safbwyntiau Cymru a Phacistan ar fyth, gwrthsafiad, ac etifeddiaeth rheolaeth drefedigaethol Prydain."

We're excited to share the work of Sophie Mak-Schram, who received 3 one-to-one sessions with curator, Zasha Colah as part of our Studio Sessions.

"Over the past year, connected to work about ways we connect and relate to others (across difference, across time, across space), I have been researching zhizha, a Chinese practice of crafting bamboo and paper sculptures for funerary and celebratory rituals. For me, these sculptures, traditionally burned, offer routes to think about expanded notions of kinship (beyond living humans, or beyond humans at all) and contemporary questions of ecological futures, impermanence and social connection."

Rydym wrth ein bodd yn rhannu gwaith Sophie Mak-Schram, a gafodd 3 sesiwn un-i-un gyda'r curadur, Zasha Colah fel rhan o'n Sesiynau Stiwdio.

"Dros y flwyddyn ddiwethaf, yn gysylltiedig â gwaith am ffyrdd rydyn ni’n uniaethu ag eraill (yn wyneb gwahaniaethau, amser, gofod). Rydw i wedi bod yn ymchwilio i zhizha, sef arfer Tsieineaidd o greu cerfluniau papur a bambŵ ar gyfer defodau angladdol a dathliadol. I mi, mae’r cerfluniau hyn, sy’n cael eu llosgi’n draddodiadol, yn cynnig opsiynau i feddwl am syniadau estynedig o berthyn (y tu hwnt i fodau dynol byw, neu y tu hwnt i fodau dynol o gwbl) a chwestiynau cyfoes am ddyfodol ecolegol, byrbwylltra a chysylltiad cymdeithasol."

We're delighted to share the work of Libby Bove, who received 3 one-to-one sessions with artist, Sarah Lee as part of our Studio Sessions.

"Working with Sarah has been brilliant, she’s been so generous with her knowledge, sharing opportunities and connections. Through our conversations, she’s invited me to consider how my practice might function within different settings, supporting me to orient my practice within the landscape of the art world. With my first solo exhibition in London this Autumn, having Sarah's experienced perspective has helped me to build confidence in presenting my work to new audiences, and given me the reassurance to still embrace the joy, the play and the chaos."

"Mae gweithio gyda Sarah wedi bod yn wych, mae hi wedi bod mor hael â’i gwybodaeth, gan rannu cyfleoedd a chysylltiadau. Drwy ein sgyrsiau, mae hi wedi fy ngwahodd i ystyried sut gallai fy ymarfer weithio mewn gwahanol leoliadau, gan fy nghefnogi i gyfeirio fy ymarfer o fewn y byd celf. Mae persbectif profiadol Sarah wedi fy helpu gyda fy arddangosfa unigol gyntaf yn Llundain yr hydref hwn, yn ogystal ag i fagu hyder wrth gyflwyno fy ngwaith i gynulleidfaoedd newydd, ac wedi rhoi’r sicrwydd i mi barhau i gofleidio’r llawenydd, y chwarae a’r anhrefn."

We're excited to share the work of Heidi Plant, who received 3 one-to-one sessions with artist, Jumana Emil Abboud as part of our Studio Sessions.

"Through conversations with Jumana Emil Abboud, we laughed, cried and shared stories of folklore, myth and everyday magic. She encouraged me to trust playfulness and silliness as serious artistic tool, giving me confidence to develop ideas around a fantasy shop in the woods. Exploring ideas around clothing and the memories and histories they hold."

Fe wnaeth hi fy annog i ymddiried mewn chwarëusrwydd a gwiriondeb fel offeryn artistig, gan roi hyder i mi ddatblygu syniadau o amgylch siop ffantasi yn y coed.

We're delighted to share the work of Angela Davies, who received 3 one-to-one sessions with curator, Marie-Anne McQuay as part of our Studio Sessions.

"In May I also had the opportunity to go on a research trip to Japan while my film was being shown at the Mori Art Museum. Now back in the studio I’m unravelling this experience through drawing and developing a material inquiry, and expanding the body of work created as part of my recent solo show at Plas Glyn y Weddw. Framed around ecological and place-based contexts of salt my work is evolving into:
- sculptural investigations and testing out a new film installation
- development of a new analogue film (thanks to Aberystwyth Film Lab)
- An exhibition publication

Sincere thanks to Artes Mundi and Marie-Anne McQuay for providing a framework for mentorship."

"Ym mis Mai, cefais gyfle hefyd i fynd ar daith ymchwil i Japan tra oedd fy ffilm yn cael ei harddangos yn Amgueddfa Gelf Mori. Bellach rwyf yn ôl yn y stiwdio ac rwy’n myfyrio ar y profiad drwy dynnu lluniau a datblygu ymchwiliad perthnasol, ac ehangu’r corff o waith a gafodd ei greu fel rhan o’m harddangosfa unigol ddiweddar ym Mhlas Glyn y Weddw. Mae fy ngwaith wedi'i fframio o amgylch cyd-destunau sy’n seiliedig ar leoedd ac ecoleg halen, ac yn esblygu’n:
- ymchwiliadau cerfluniol a phrofi gosodiad ffilm newydd
- datblygu ffilm analog newydd (diolch i Labordy Ffilm Aberystwyth)
- Cyhoeddiad arddangosfa

Diolch o galon i Artes Mundi a Marie-Anne McQuay am roi fframwaith ar gyfer mentora.

We are excited to share the work of the artists who took part in our Studio Sessions! The next artist is Lal Davies, who received 3 one-to-one sessions with Nigel Prince.

"The Studio Sessions were a really valuable opportunity to spend time with Nigel Prince from Artes Mundi looking at directions my film/visual art/text practice had taken since encountering him previously. We also looked at new work in progress. [...] As well as these insightful discussions, we talked about the wider context and realities of being a working artist. Because of Nigel’s generosity and insight, I felt strengthened in continuing to make new work to continue feeding into commissions."

"Roedd y Sesiynau Stiwdio yn gyfle gwerthfawr iawn i dreulio amser gyda Nigel Prince o Artes Mundi, yn edrych ar y cyfeiriad y mae fy ngwaith ffilm/celf weledol/testun wedi mynd iddo ers cwrdd ag ef o’r blaen. Fe wnaethom ni edrych hefyd ar waith newydd sydd ar y gweill. [...] Yn ogystal â’r trafodaethau craff hyn, buom yn siarad am gyd-destun ehangach a realiti gweithio fel artist. Oherwydd haelioni a dealltwriaeth Nigel, roeddwn i’n teimlo’n gryfach i barhau i wneud gwaith newydd er mwyn cyfrannu at gomisiynau."

We are excited to share the work of the artists who took part in our Studio Sessions! The next artist is Lily Tiger, who received 3 one-to-one sessions with Sarah Glennie.

"During the sessions, we discussed ways of strengthening the content and format of my online portfolio for future opportunities. She also shared alternative ways of receiving further education and introduced me to many other artists working in similarly cross-disciplinary and collaborative ways. The most beneficial aspect of the sessions was the encouragement to have more confidence in my practice, and feel proud of what I've achieved to date."

Hefyd, rhannodd hi ffyrdd amgen o dderbyn addysg bellach a’m cyflwyno i lawer o artistiaid eraill sy’n gweithio mewn ffyrdd yr un mor drawsddisgyblaethol a chydweithredol. Agwedd fwyaf buddiol y sesiynau oedd yr anogaeth i gael mwy o hyder yn fy ngwaith, a theimlo’n falch o’r hyn rydw i wedi’i gyflawni hyd yma."

We are delighted to share the work of the artists who took part in our Studio Sessions! The next artist is Holly Slingsby, who received 3 one-to-one sessions with curator, Marie Hélène Pereira.

"My Studio Sessions with Marie Hélène Pereira were really beneficial. Firstly, it's been helpful to discuss my practice with a curator who was previously unfamiliar with it. Secondly, Marie Helene’s international perspective gave such richness to our conversations.

As well as dialogue around existing work, we've been talking about new work I'm developing on Shrine Madonnas. I've also recently made a new performance in London, so we discussed the creation and reception of that."

"Roedd fy Sesiynau Stiwdio gyda Marie Hélène Pereira yn fuddiol iawn. Yn gyntaf, defnyddiol oedd trafod fy ngwaith gyda churadur a oedd yn anghyfarwydd â fy ngwaith cyn hynny. Yn ail, rhoddodd persbectif rhyngwladol Marie Hélène gymaint o gyfoeth i’n sgyrsiau.

Yn ogystal â deialog am y gwaith presennol, rydym ni wedi siarad am waith newydd rydw i wrthi’n ei ddatblygu ar gerfluniau o'r Forwyn Fair. Rydw i hefyd wedi gwneud perfformiad newydd yn Llundain yn ddiweddar, felly fe wnaethon ni drafod creu hynny a sut cafodd y perfformiad ei dderbyn."

"We were well linked to each other, with a major similarity of the oppression, of Sawang the Dutch Empire and myself, the closing chapters of the British Empire. Discussed areas of artistic practice, this included, background colour, sizing the work, different methods of collage and introduction of artists that I had not considered researching. Reflecting/feedback at the next session."

Trafodwyd meysydd ymarfer artistig, gan gynnwys lliw cefndir, maint y gwaith, gwahanol ddulliau o ludwaith a chyflwyniad i artistiaid nad oeddwn i wedi ystyried ymchwilio iddynt.

"In the studio I’m making clusters of small sculptures that live on shelves with partner drawings. The work is shaped by encounters gathered over decades: Yampara textiles worn across Bolivian mountains, geometric patterns painted onto mud compounds in northern Ghana, hand-painted signs, Ankara fabrics drying on fences in Senegal, Welsh blankets, chimney pots and improvised tools adapted to fit the job. I am interested in the ingenuity embedded in everyday objects and the intelligence held in people’s hands. "
