Bring it to life

Hello! With the warmest of greetings. I've chosen today's challenge because I was chosen to be one of eight artists who have experienced homelessness in the UK to work for Arts and Homeless international, I have thought a lot about objects I had whilst homeless - their semiotics, their meanings, usefulnesses and how they made me feel. I either needed them to survive, or they where so precious that they survived the high risk of getting lost or stolen. Objects that meant so much I managed to hang on to them and that somehow managed to dictate a part of who I am, or at least a part of my story. It's an interesting journey and technique for anyone to look at the objects that are important to them. They have an excellent story because we all do and things do represent you.

My creative prompt is about objects. As someone who was chosen to be one of eight artists who have experienced homelessness in the UK to work for Arts and Homeless international, I have thought a lot about objects I had whilst homeless - their semiotics, their meanings, usefulnesses and how they made me feel. I either needed them to survive, or they where so precious that they survived the high risk of getting lost or stolen. Objects that meant so much I managed to hang on to them and that somehow managed to dictate a part of who I am, or at least a part of my story.

Helo! Cyfarchion cynhesaf. Dwi wedi dewis her heddiw gan i mi gael fy newis i fod yn un o wyth artist sydd wedi profi digartrefedd yn y DU i weithio i Arts and Homeless international. Dwi wedi meddwl llawer am wrthrychau oedd gen i pan oeddwn i’n ddigartref – eu semioteg, eu hystyron, defnyddioldeb a sut roedden nhw’n gwneud i fi deimlo. Roeddwn i naill ai eu hangen i oroesi, neu roedden nhw mor werthfawr fel y goroeson nhw’r risg uchel o fynd ar goll neu gael eu dwyn. Gwrthrychau oedd yn golygu cymaint i fi fel y llwyddais i ddal gafael ynddyn nhw a rhywsut ffurfiodd hynny ran o bwy ydw i, neu o leiaf ran o fy stori i. Mae’n daith ac yn dechneg ddiddorol i unrhyw un edrych ar y gwrthrychau sy’n bwysig iddyn nhw. Mae ganddyn nhw stori ragorol oherwydd bod un gan bawb, ac mae pethau yn eich cynrychioli chi.
