FISHGUARD Is LIT
Artist and author Jackie Morris reads The Unwinding alongside music for the cello created and performed by Nia Harries, with visuals of the inspiring paintings.
Jackie Morris is an author and illustrator. Her works include The Lost Words and The Lost Spells, co-created with Robert Macfarlane, and The Unwinding, an illustrated book for dreamers, published by Unbound. Her works have been translated into many languages, though as she says, images need no translation. She has illustrated and written over 60 books, and now her work focusses on both peace and protest, in the most beautiful way possible.
Nia Harries has created a musical score to go with the reading of The Unwinding, alongside visuals of the beautiful paintings. The composition is hugely varied, drawing on elements of Bach and Welsh Folksong to express the inspiration of the poetic writing and pictures, all performed by Nia on the cello with Jackie reading.
This event is supported by the Night Out Scheme.

Mae'r artist a'r awdur Jackie Morris yn darllen The Unwinding ochr yn ochr â cherddoriaeth ar gyfer y sielo a grëwyd gan y cerddor Nia Harries, gyda delweddau o'r paentiadau ysbrydoledig.
Mae Jackie Morris yn awdur a darlunydd. Mae ei gweithiau'n cynnwys The Lost Words a The Lost Spells, a grëwyd ar y cyd â Robert Macfarlane, a The Unwinding, llyfr darluniadol i freuddwydwyr, a gyhoeddwyd gan Unbound. Mae ei gweithiau wedi'u cyfieithu i lawer o ieithoedd, er, fel y dywed hi, nid oes angen cyfieithu delweddau. Mae hi wedi darlunio ac ysgrifennu dros 60 o lyfrau, ac mae ei gwaith bellach yn canolbwyntio ar heddwch a phrotest, yn y ffordd fwyaf prydferth posibl.
Mae Nia Harries wedi creu sgôr gerddorol i fynd gyda darlleniad The Unwinding, ochr yn ochr â delweddau o'r paentiadau hardd. Mae'r cyfansoddiad yn amrywiol iawn, gan dynnu ar elfennau o Bach a Chaneuon Gwerin Cymru i fynegi ysbrydoliaeth yr ysgrifennu barddonol a'r lluniau, a’r cyfan wedi'i berfformio gan Nia ar y sielo gyda Jackie yn darllen.
Cefnogir y digwyddiad hwn gan y Cynllun Noson Allan.
