Bethan Huws: Capelgwyn (Welsh for Whitechapel)

Welsh artist Bethan Huws is interested in subtly altering our experience of spaces to create sites for contemplation. She works with watercolour, drawings, wall texts, installation, sculpture and film to make unexpected links to our experiences of daily life.
Huws’sculptures and text works have the potential to project us into another time and space, and the ability to alter our perception. One of her signature works, a hand crafted reed boat could take us somewhere far beyond the physical confines of the gallery, while the raised Gallery floor’s horizontal surface reflects the boat’s keel, and changes the dimensions and acoustics of the space itself.


She is exhibiting at the Whitechapel Gallery from 29th Jan-18th March 2011.
