“If the symbiotic relationship between image and word is a strong element in the Welsh tradition, it is foregrounded in the work of this hugely talented visual artist who is also a poet and creator of comics”
​
Soft Mutation is both a comic book (for sale here) and an exhibition of paintings. Based on a poem written by Nicky Arscott and translated into Welsh by Hywel Griffiths, each painting forms one panel of a huge visual poem exploring bilingualism, identity, motherhood and death. The exhibition at MOMA Machynlleth in 2017 was accompanied by poetry comics workshops for local schools, an artist's talk, and a guided tour.
