Presented in Unreadings, Paul Eastwood's drawings emerge from his examination of text within historical painting, particularly medieval speech scrolls used to depict religious verse. These works raise questions around access and legibility, considering who could read them and who they were intended for. The artist explores this tension between visibility and readability, treating text as both image and language within the drawings.

The drawings also explore reading through a dyslexic perspective. Letters are compressed and partially concealed, and words are fragmented or merged. Here, Eastwood reflects on the instability of his reading process "where hesitation, pattern recognition, and visual shape all play a role" (Disability Arts Cymru).

Unreadings is open Tuesday to Saturday, until 20 June.

Wedi'u cyflwyno yn Dad-ddarlleniadau, mae lluniadau Paul Eastwood yn deillio o'i archwiliad o destun o fewn peintio hanesyddol, yn enwedig sgroliau lleferydd canoloesol a ddefnyddir i ddarlunio penillion crefyddol. Mae'r gweithiau hyn yn codi cwestiynau ynghylch mynediad a darllenadwyedd, gan ystyried pwy allai eu darllen a phwy yr oeddent wedi'u bwriadu ar eu cyfer. Mae'r artist yn archwilio'r tensiwn hwn rhwng gwelededd a darllenadwyedd, gan drin testun fel delwedd ac iaith o fewn y lluniadau.

Mae'r lluniadau hefyd yn archwilio darllen trwy safbwynt dyslecsig. Mae llythrennau wedi'u cywasgu a'u cuddio'n rhannol, ac mae geiriau wedi'u darnio neu eu cyfuno. Yma, mae Eastwood yn myfyrio ar ansefydlogrwydd ei broses ddarllen "lle mae petruster, adnabod patrymau, a siâp gweledol i gyd yn chwarae rhan" (Disability Arts Cymru).

Mae Dad-ddarlleniadau ar agor o ddydd Mawrth i ddydd Sadwrn, tan 20 Mehefin.

Opening in July!
DARCH: Heaven in the Ground

DARCH is the collaborative practice of artists Umulkhayr Mohamed and Radha Patel.

Heaven in the Ground is a soundwork and installation which tells the story of the earth underneath our feet, and the bedrock as a great connector which holds all histories (prehistoric, colonial, personal) as well as possible futures. The work explores concepts of the afterlife, the relationship between life and death, and the need to acknowledge the labour of other species.

Heaven in the Ground was originally co-commissioned for Liverpool Biennial 2025, BEDROCK, by At The Library/Rule of Threes Arts and Liverpool Biennial, with generous support from FACT Liverpool. For Mostyn’s summer season, DARCH are developing a new iteration of Heaven in the Ground, conceived as a site-specific project for Wales.
____

Yn agor ym mis Gorffennaf!
DARCH: Heaven in the Ground

Mae DARCH yn waith cydweithredol yr artistiaid Umulkhayr Mohamed a Radha Patel.

Mae Heaven in the Ground yn waith sain a gosodiad sy'n adrodd hanes y ddaear o dan ein traed, a'r graigwely fel cysylltydd gwych sy'n dal pob hanes (cynhanesyddol, trefedigaethol, personol) yn ogystal â dyfodol posibl. Mae'r gwaith yn archwilio cysyniadau'r ôl-fywyd, y berthynas rhwng bywyd a marwolaeth, a'r angen i gydnabod llafur rhywogaethau eraill.

Cyd-gomisiynwyd Heaven in the Ground yn wreiddiol ar gyfer Biennale Lerpwl 2025, BEDROCK, gan At The Library/Rule of Threes Arts a Biennale Lerpwl, gyda chefnogaeth hael gan FACT Liverpool. Ar gyfer tymor haf Mostyn, mae DARCH yn datblygu fersiwn newydd o Heaven in the Ground, wedi'i greu fel prosiect safle-benodol i Gymru.
