Heulwen Wright

Heulwen uses glass powders and frits to create subtle, almost hidden and ghosted images that instil a sense of mystery and intrigue, whilst capturing the atmospheric mood, light and textures of the wild and windswept places of her childhood in North and Mid Wales. Her work hints at our memories of people, places and times past that we can no longer see, touch or return to, yet we can still feel what remains hidden below the surface. This is particularly relevant in her collection of tableware titled TirDu (Black Land) that pays homage to the drowning of the village of Capel Celyn near Bala, with screen printed poetry by family friend Rhodri Jones.
