In her further investigations however, she discovered that the nautical tradition also holds reverence to the female form. Theboat is a \u2018she\u2019 vessel, cradling the lives of the men who sail in her hull. In response to this, Broadmeadow has created a floating sculpture of a high-heeled shoe, which has masts and sails, and presents the ultimate female ship.<br \/>\nThe high-heeled shoe represents the femininity issues surrounding the nautical world and the shopping culture omnipresent in every city. The work also links to the Swansea cockle women, those women who only wore shoes to enter the market, their simple life almost a million miles away from the highly groomed lifestyles of today<br \/>\nMegan Broadmeadow was born in Manchester and raised in north Wales, where she currently lives and works.<br \/>\nBroadmeadow studied sculpture at the Slade School of Art, and graduated in 2002. Since then she has exhibited and performed in Wales and England. She also works as an Associate Director for Cynefin Theatre Company.<br \/>\n<br \/>\n[\/lang_en]<\/p>\n<p>[lang_cy]<br \/>\n<strong>Ship-Shape<\/strong><br \/>\nPont\u0175n yr Amgueddfa Abertawe, Marina Abertawe <br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/locwsinternational.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/artworks\/broadmeadow\/broadmeadow21.jpg\" alt=\"broadmeadow21\" title=\"broadmeadow21\" width=\"510\" height=\"344\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-530\" \/><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/locwsinternational.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/artworks\/broadmeadow\/broadmeadow23.jpg\" alt=\"broadmeadow23\" title=\"broadmeadow23\" width=\"510\" height=\"344\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-530\" \/><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/locwsinternational.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/artworks\/broadmeadow\/broadmeadow72.jpg\" alt=\"broadmeadow72\" title=\"broadmeadow72\" width=\"510\" height=\"344\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-530\" \/><br \/>\nYsbrydoliaeth gwaith Megan Broadmeadow yw hanes morol Abertawe a\u2019r byd morol ehangach, yr oedd yn y lle cyntaf yn ei weld fel rhywbeth gwrywaidd iawn, yn enwedig o ran hanes Abertawe. Wrth iddi archwilio ymhellach, fodd bynnag, darganfuwyd bod y traddodiad morol yn talu teyrnged i\u2019r ffurf fenywaidd. Mae llong yn fenywaidd ac yn diogelu bywydau\u2019r holl ddynion sy\u2019n<br \/>\nhwylio arni. Er mwyn ymateb i hyn, mae Broadmeadow wedi creu cerflun arnofiol o esgid \u00e2 sawdl uchel, y mae ganddi hwylbren a hwyl, ac yn cyflwyno\u2019r llong fenywaidd ddelfrydol.<\/p>\n<p>Mae\u2019r esgid \u00e2 sawdl uchel yn cynrychioli materion benyweidd-dra sy\u2019n ymwneud \u00e2\u2019r byd morol a\u2019r diwylliant siopa sy\u2019n hollbresennol ym mhob dinas. Mae\u2019r gwaith hefyd yn cysylltu menywod cocos Abertawe, y menywod a oedd ond yn gwisgo\u2019u hesgidiau i fynd i\u2019r farchnad.
