\nFor Spring 2010, Locws International has commissioned a temporary new artwork for Swansea\u2019s Civic Centre by Wales-based artist Jackie Chettur.
\n
\n\u2018\u2026it is 89 days this morning since we left Mumbles head\u2019 by Jackie Chettur.
\n
\nInspired by the maritime history of Swansea, Jackie Chettur has researched elements of the journeys of Swansea\u2019s \u2018Cape Horners\u2019 to create a visual installation on the seaward side of the Civic Centre.
\n
\nUsing a diary by Benjamin Davies, an industrial worker sent off to Chile on one of Swansea\u2019s copper barques, Jackie Chettur has brought to life his epic voyage and delved into the history of the Swansea Cape Horners who brought copper ore back from Chile in the late 1800\u2019s.
\nThe new artwork consists of a series of staged images created by the artist using historical artefacts, models and paintings that depict the long journeys and extraordinary sights that the sailors experienced as they set sail from Swansea Bay, past Mumbles Head and out beyond the horizon.
\nCreated using 3D image technology the images are displayed within 6 stereo viewers set out on the seaward side of Swansea\u2019 Civic Centre with the view of Mumbles head in the distance.
\nDates: 30th April \u2013 23rd May, 10 \u2013 5pm daily.
\nLocation: Swansea\u2019s Civic Centre
\nLocws International works with international and Welsh contemporary artists to create new visual artworks and projects that respond to the culture and heritage of the city of Swansea.

\nAr gyfer gwanwyn 2010, mae Locws International wedi comisiynu gwaith celf newydd dros dro ar gyfer Canolfan Ddinesig Abertawe gan yr artist Cymreig, Jackie Chettur.
\n
\n‘\u2026 y bore ‘ma mae’n 89 diwrnod ers i ni adael pen y Mwmbwls’ gan Jackie Chettur.
\n
\nWedi’i ysbrydoli gan hanes morol Abertawe, mae Jackie Chettur wedi ymchwilio i elfennau teithiau ‘morwyr yr Horn’ Abertawe i greu gosodiad gweledol ar ochr y m\u00f4r y Ganolfan Ddinesig.
\n
\nDrwy ddefnyddio dyddiadur Benjamin Davies, gweithiwr diwydiannol a anfonwyd i Chile ar un o longau copr Abertawe, mae Jackie Chettur wedi rhoi bywyd i’w fordaith arwrol ac wedi ymchwilio i hanes morwyr yr Horn Abertawe a ddaeth \u00e2 mwyn copr yn \u00f4l o Chile tua diwedd y bedwaredd ganrif ar bymtheg.
\nMae’r gwaith celf newydd yn cynnwys cyfres o ddelweddau wedi’u llwyfannu a gr\u00ebwyd gan yr artist gan ddefnyddio arteffactau, modelau a phaentiadau hanesyddol, sy’n darlunio’r teithiau hir a’r golygfeydd anhygoel y profodd y morwyr wrth adael Bae Abertawe, heibio i Ben y Mwmbwls a thu hwnt i’r gorwel.
\nDrwy ddefnyddio technoleg delweddau 3D, arddangosir y delweddau o fewn 6 gweledydd stereo wedi’u gosod ar ochr y m\u00f4r Canolfan Ddinesig Abertawe, gyda golygfa Pen y Mwmbwls yn y pellter.
\nDyddiadau: 30 Ebrill \u2013 23 Mai, 10am\u2013 5pm bob dydd.
\nLleoliad: Canolfan Ddinesig Abertawe
\nMae Locws Rhyngwladol yn gweithio gydag artistiaid cyfoes rhyngwladol a Chymreig i greu gweithiau a phrosiectau celf weledol newydd sy’n ymateb i ddiwylliant a threftadaeth dinas Abertawe. Gyda chefnogaeth Cyngor Celfyddydau Cymru, Sefydliad Esm\u00e9e Fairbairn, Dinas a Sir Abertawe, Amgueddfa Abertawe ac Oriel Gelf Glynn Vivian.
