About the project: Between spring 2003 and winter 2005, an exchange between the artist groups ointment and Boréal Art/Nature gave place to two residencies: Crwydro/Wander, in the Preseli Hills in west Wales, and Marcheurs des bois, in the Québécois winter, on a frozen lake in the Laurentian forest. Walking was the common strategy used by the 12 artists involved in the projects. The trilingual publication (French, English and Welsh) contains documentation of the two expeditions, punctuated by texts, artists’ writings, drawings and photographs of works and actions.

Supported by the Arts Council of Wales, Wales Arts International and Quebec Council.

Yng glyn â’r brosiect: rhwng gwanwyn 2003 a gaeaf 2005 wnaeth gyfnewid rhwng grwpiau artistiaid ointment a Boréal Art / Nature rhoi cyfle i ddau brosiect: Crwydro ym Mryniau Preseli yn Sir Benfro, a Marcheurs des Bois yng nghanol gaeaf Québec ar lyn rhewedig yng Nghoedwig Laurensaidd. Cerdded oedd y strategaeth gyffredinol a defnyddwyd gan yr artistiaid yn ystod y ddau brosiect. Mae’r cyhoeddiad tairieithog (Ffrangeg, Cymraeg a Saesneg) yn cynnwys cofnod dogfennol o’r ddau ymgyrch, wedi ei atalnodi efo testynnau, darnau o ysgrifenedig gan yr artistiaid, luniau a ffotograffau o’r gwaith a’r gweithrediadau.

Gyda cymorth gan Cyngor Celfyddydau Cymru, Celfyddydau Cymru Rhyngwladol, a Cyngor Québec.
