Bethan Huws

Drawings

Her memory, our memory – a finely spun play with visual recall For Welsh artist Bethan Huws the act of drawing is always partly based on a personal recollection. Perhaps of a certain place, such as her parental home, or of things like a shell she once found, or of animals, like grazing sheep. But she strips down and simplifies these memory images so that, while still remaining bound to her personal experience, they assume a more general character. Often their forms are so reduced they border on abstraction. And then the form takes on a life of its own, where a cactus perhaps will arise from a few colourful pencil strokes. Then on turning the picture through 90 degrees the same drawing recalls a crocodile. Huws keeps up this playful approach and with that combines her memories with ours, as a matter of course.
