About Wood and Tree Poster

Mae Pren a Choeden yn boster a grëwyd ar gyfer seminar bensaernïol a gynhaliwyd yn Tokyo, Japan. Thema'r seminar yw'r defnydd newydd o bren, deunydd clasurol, mewn pensaernïaeth fodern. Mae'r poster yn defnyddio iaith graffigol fodern i efelychu lluniad clasurol o gylchoedd coeden. Profwyd llinellau o wahanol niferoedd, trwch, crymedd a lliw i ffurfio'r patrwm. Mae'r canlyniad yn fathemategol o ran ei strwythur, ac eto mae'r harddwch naturiol yn parhau. Mae'r poster yn mesur 210 wrth 297 milimetr. Cafodd ei arddangos wrth fynedfa, lle gallai ymwelwyr gymryd taflenni bach.
