I've come to celebrate contemporary Wales . As an artist, I create gentle, flowing, monumental yet adapting forms. This sculpture is a physical manifestation of the Welsh language being spoken, the forms tracing sound waves moving through space and time. It is a celebration of Cymraeg, a joyous expression of the human desire to not merely revere heritage but to live it. Here we can shout our joyful cry "Cross this line, and Welsh is heard." I also layer visual references to the legend of Y Draig Goch, whose wings rise up from verdant Gwlad to fill with wind in flight.
