Rhian Wyn Stone
Rhian Wyn Stone is an emerging Swansea based artist whose work is influenced by the notion of becoming distinct within a world of uniformity. From her degree in Contemporary Crafts in Manchester, Rhian’s work has featured at exhibitions such as New Designers 2010, Art in the Garden 2011 and Welsh Artist of the Year 2012.
Through soft iron wire, Rhian is exploring the contrast between a social and individual ideal, where imperfections are not seen as flaws, rather as characteristics; these unplanned details become the ideal, more perfect than the initial design to start. It is the element of chance and found beauty that inspire her wire pieces. She wishes to re-engage the viewer with a familiar in order to create a new aesthetic, to immerse them in the work itself, creating an immediate and lasting reaction.
