Ieuan Berry, A Breath of Fresh Air
A Breath of Fresh Air
For the respiratory ward, photographic works of local landscapes which have recovered from their coal-mining were collected from Newport-based photographer Ieuan Berry. Conscious that these areas have been visually re-shaped because of changing energy needs, Ieuan undertook the commission with the aim of making it carbon neutral. He used an electric bike to visit the locations and powered the camera equipment with green energy. Ieuan said: “I hope that those who cannot visit and experience these locations can hopefully find pleasure from viewing them.”
Ar gyfer y ward resbiradol, casglwyd gweithiau ffotograffig o dirweddau lleol sydd wedi’u hadfer ers dyddiau’r pyllau glo gan y ffotograffydd o Gasnewydd, Ieuan Berry. Ac yntau’n ymwybodol bod yr ardaloedd hyn wedi’u hail-lunio'n weledol oherwydd anghenion ynni newidiol, ymgymerodd Ieuan â'r comisiwn â'r nod o'i gyflawni’n garbon niwtral. Defnyddiodd feic trydan i ymweld â'r lleoliadau a phwerwyd yr offer camera ag ynni gwyrdd. Meddai Ieuan: “Rwy’n gobeithio y gall y rheini na all ymweld â’r lleoliadau hyn a’u profi’n bersonol gael pleser o edrych ar y ffotograffau.”
