BILLY ADAMS

​ceramics / Gweuthurwr Cerameg

Mandy Nash
Billy Adams is a potter whose work deals with exploring and experimenting with aspects of landscape.
​He works within the vessel format, combining textures and colours to give the viewer an intimate insight into his private view of ceramics. This world is a combination of structures and forms interacting with man made elements, provoking the onlooker to question the value of a vessel as a piece of sculpture.​

Billy prefers to stay within the realms of the vessel. Rims, handles, lips and balance are commonplace within traditional ceramics, yet he uses them in a unique integrated structure which elevates them beyond their own identifiable function and so gives them another meaning. Their conclusive forms are recognised as jugs, bowls and vessels; however, these represent profound arguments concerning issues of an individual’s perception and memory of an ever-changing landscape. 

Crochenydd yw Billy Adams, mae ei waith yn ymdrin a archwilio ac arbrofi gyda agweddau y tirlun. Mae'n gweithio o fewn fformat y y tu fewn i ffurf llestr tal ac yn cymysgu gwead a lliwiau i roi cipolwg personol ar ei serameg. dangos i'r gwyliwr sut mae Billy yn gweld gwaith ceramig. Mae'r byd yn gyfuniad o strwythurau a ffurf sy’n rhyngweithio gydag elfennau o waith dynol a gobeithia Billy brocio y gwylwyr i gwestiynu gwerth y serameg fel dar o gerflunwaith.

Mae’n well gan Billy i weithio ym myd y llestr. Ymylon, dolenni gwefusau a chydbwysedd cyffredinol yn ei serameg traddodoiadol, ond eto mae’n defnyddio strwythyr unigryw sy’n gwahanu ac yn codi’r gwaith i lefel tu hwnt i’w swyddogaeth ac felly yn rhoi ystyr arall iddynt. Mae eu ddarnau terfynol yn cael eu cydnabod fel jygiau, powlenni a llestri; Fodd bynnag mae’r rhain yn cynrychioli dadleuon dwys â materion o ganfyddiad yr unigolyn a chof o dirwedd sy’n newid yn gyson.
