The WordGleaners
Y Medelwr Geiriau
WordGleaners are collectors of lost and lonely words to see if any would ever be brought back into use. They are part of a series of sculptures about words.
I’m interested in the meaning of words, how they change, and what that means for a language and its people.
Lost & Lonely Words
They ‘advertise’ the words to see if any could/should be brought back in to use. They provoke discussion on the nature of change- What do we lose and what do we gain when language evolves?
One of my original inspirations for these pieces was the 19th Banner Ladies- Walking advertisements for shops who would carry pieces from their shops sewn onto their clothes.
