Patrwm by Bethan Yates
£1,120.00
Cast glass sculpture. The components of Patrwm were made separately and bonded together.
Bethan’s work focuses on the historical significance of Welsh women’s domestic and professional roles and recognises their unsung labour and artistry. Researching traditional Welsh Quilts, the Royal College of Arts Master’s student has pulled motifs and patterns from original designs to reinterpret into her own work, focusing on minor imperfections to highlight and celebrate the handmade.
Through experimentation with paper collating Yates is refining the interplay of layers within the 3D glass elements, further pushing the boundaries of craft and infusing vibrancy and celebration into the work through colour and pattern.
