Ada Marino
Artist gweledol o’r Eidal sy’n gweithio yng Nghymru yw Ada Marino. Yn anad dim, mae ei gwaith yn ffocysu ar gofion am ddigwyddiadau’r gorffennol, atgofion a thrawmâu sy’n ailymddangos, gan basio camlas ddofn o fewnsyllu, sy’n amlygu swrealaeth sinigaidd. Caiff ei gwaith ei gynrychioli ganan gyfuniad unigol o ffotograffiaeth a gosodweithiau. Yn aml, mae ei delweddaeth aflonyddol yn ceisio cysyniadu effaith ffieidd-dod/atyniad ac yn ceisio cyflwyno cysyniad ailwerthusiad hylltra, gan fyfyrio arno, mewn ffordd. Mae’n creu amrywiaeth gyda’r ffurf ffotograffiaeth esthetig ‘ansylweddol’ gan danseilio’r ffordd gyffredin i dynnu lluniau pethau, eu gweld a’u canfod, gan ddathlu’r harddwch mewn gwirionedd a diffygion bywyd.

Paterfamilias
“Paterfamilias” is a visual investigation exploring the theme of oppression in the domestic sphere, bringing to the surface the consequences of the deteriorated relationships in male dominated households. The project’s narrative evokes memories in all their rawness. The sentiments/resentments fruit of this experience, functioning to raise awareness of, and discuss, a deviant cultural aspect which still mortifies the dignity of women. The images are wrapped into a form of surrealism elevating and making tangible the sense of conflict, frustration and tension of unsafe shelter, but also capturing the feminine feelings manifestations like resilience, awareness, desire to emerge, commenting on a social phenomenon of silent but disruptive force.
