Heulwen Wright


Heulwen predominantly 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 Wales 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 two exquisite glass art wall panels and collection of tableware titled Tir Du / Black Land which pays homage to the drowning of the village of Capel Celyn and the Tryweryn Valley, with screen printed poetry by family friend Rhodri Jones who went to Capel Celyn school as a boy and whose family have farmed the surrounding hills for generations. Heulwen was born in a cottage at the side of Llyn Celyn and so the place has special meaning to her, which she hopes is reflected in her work.
