Lens 2013: King Tide - David Barnes
Fri, 22 Nov 13 19:30:00
Mae King Tide yn datgelu bydoedd hynod breifat lle mae manylder bywydau teuluol yn gymysg â phortreadau bychain cynnil ac amwys. Wrth fwrw golwg agosach ar y gwaith daw elfennau goddrychol a hunangofiannol i’r amlwg ymysg y delweddau trosiadol – mae’r anhrefn a’r chwilfriwiad sy’n treiddio drwy’r gwaith yn codi cwestiynau am ffugio a gwrth-ddweud. Ni chynigir atebion yma. www.llgc.org.uk/lens Mynediad trwy docyn £5.00 £15.00 am nos Wener a Dydd Sadwrn £10.00 Myfyrwyr NUS & UMCA King Tide invites us into intensely private worlds where intimate studies of family life give way to sparse, open-ended vignettes. Further viewing of the work reveals a subjective and autobiographical viewpoint interlaced with metaphor- remaining open to the various fictions and contradictions to be found in the pervading dislocation and fragmentation. There are no answers here. www.llgc.org.uk/lens Admission by ticket £5.00 £15.00 for both Friday and Saturday £10.00 NUS & UMCA Students
