Blychau Matshys

Grŵp Rhyngweithio Coed Cae, Ysgol Gynradd Sofrydd, Ysgol Gynradd Rhosyn Gwyn, 2il Gybiaid Merthyr, Ysgol Uwchradd Pen-y-Dre

Mae'r gwaith hwn yn cynnwys llawer o ymatebion unigol i'r mathau o ddistawrwydd a gynrychiolir yn Arddangosfa mewn Blwch, gyda phob person yn dewis siâp neu wrthrych i'w ail-greu. Gwnaed pob un yn yr un ffordd unffurf, plastig gwyn o fewn blwch matshys gwyn, ond mae pob gwrthrych yn dal i fod ag argraff y person a'i creodd - hyd yn oed os mai dim ond ôl bys yw hynny. Dim ond yn agos y gellir gweld yr argraff bersonol yma. Mae hyn i adlewyrchu'r llu o feddau milwrol gwyn yn ymestyn am filltiroedd mewn lleoedd fel Ypres. Ar y golwg cyntaf dim ond miloedd o gerrig bedd gwyn a welir a dim ond pan archwilir yn agosach y byddwch yn gweld manylion y person.

This work is made up of many individual responses to the silences represented in Exhibition in a Box, with each person selecting a shape or object to recreate. Each has been made in the same uniform way; white plastic contained within a white match box but each object still has the imprint from the person who created them – even if it is just a finger print. On mass this personal imprint is lost and can only be seen close up. This is to reflect the mass white military grave’s stretching for miles and miles in places such as Ypres. At first glance you can only see the thousands of white head stones and it is only on closer examination you see the details of the person.
