The Lost Words
In the seating areas in the lift alcoves, you will find illustrations by Jackie Morris and poetry by Robert Macfarlane, with Welsh translation by Mererid Hopwood and design by Alison O'Toole.
These works are from Morris and Macfarlane’s bestselling The Lost Words, a ‘book of spells’ that seeks to conjure the near-lost magic and strangeness of the nature that surrounds us.
In these beautiful illustrations you will find local flora, fauna and wildlife, bringing the tranquillity of nature you can see from the windows a little closer.

Yn y darluniau hyfryd hyn fe welwch blanhigion, anifeiliaid a bywyd gwyllt lleol, gan ddod â llonyddwch natur y gallwch ei weld o'r ffenestri ychydig yn agosach.
