About Cassiopeia Cerflunwaith

Mae Cassiopeia yn gerflun gwydr wedi'i wneud o wydr gwastraff diwydiannol ac ailgylchedig. Byddai'r deunydd hwn fel arall yn cyrraedd tomen sbwriel, ond yn hyn o beth caiff ei doddi a'i ailffurfio i greu ffurf newydd. Chwythir pob darn â'r geg yn stiwdio wydr, a'i lunio â llaw. Mae'r arwynebau garw ac organig yn adlewyrchu estheteg a golau Sgandinafaidd. Mae pob cromen wydr yn olau ychydig, a'r arwynebau tebyg i rew yn ymdoddi gyda'i gilydd i greu gosodwaith tebyg i dirlun. Mae'r cerflun yn mesur 150 wrth 50 wrth 30 centimetr. Y bwriad yw dehongliad barddonol o'r cyferbyniad rhwng deunydd ailgylchedig a deunydd gwerthfawr.
