‘Cynefin’ (/kəˈnɛvɪn/ kuh-NEV-in) – Sense of habitat or place
We are delighted to present an exhibition by Cathy May, displaying a series of works that comment on the importance of connecting with nature and the happiness it brings the artist.
Cathy May is a Cardiff based artist, who is interested in sense of place, belonging and what feels like a natural habitat or home.
Having moved about a lot in her life, she has often felt displaced, but feels happiest, calm and most , when amongst nature and green spaces, so often feels drawn to these places to reconnect.
Through the mediums of paint and ink, Cathy would like to take you on a journey with her art, but hopes to make you feel connected; safe and home.
The Welsh have a word that exactly depicts this – Cynefin (/kəˈnɛvɪn/ kuh-NEV-in), which means ‘habitat’ or ‘place’, so that is the name of this exhibition.
The ‘Cynefin’ exhibition will run until 3rd October 2022.

Cynefin – Arddangosfa gan Cathy May
‘Cynefin’ – Ymdeimlad o le
Mae’n bleser gennym gyflwyno arddangosfa gan Cathy May, sy’n arddangos cyfres o waith sy’n cyfeirio at bwysigrwydd cysylltu â byd natur a’r hapusrwydd a ddaw yn ei sgil i’r artist.
Artist o Gaerdydd yw Cathy May, sydd â diddordeb mewn ymdeimlad o le, perthyn a’r hyn sy’n teimlo fel cynefin neu gartref naturiol.
Ar ôl symud o gwmpas llawer yn ei bywyd, mae hi’n aml wedi teimlo wedi’i dadleoli, ond mae’n teimlo’n fwyaf hapus a digynnwrf pan fydd ymhlith byd natur a mannau gwyrdd, ac mae’n aml yn teimlo ei bod yn cael ei denu at y lleoedd hyn i ailgysylltu.
Trwy gyfrwng paent ac inc, hoffai Cathy fynd â chi ar daith gyda’i chelf, ond mae’n gobeithio gwneud i chi deimlo’n gysylltiedig; yn ddiogel a chartrefol.
Mae ‘cynefin’, enw’r arddangosfa hon yn cyfleu hyn yn union.
Bydd arddangosfa ‘Cynefin’ i’w gweld tan 3 Hydref 2022.
