Yn benodol, roedd nod Sparnon ar gyfer y preswyliad hwn yn ddeublyg; canolbwyntio ar ymarfer heb gyfyngiad ac archwilio'r potensial o weithio o fewn cyd-destun stiwdio. Roedd gweithio fel hyn yn ei alluogi i ganolbwyntio ar ansawdd ei waith yn hytrach na'r swm a gynhyrchwyd.

In particular, Sparnon\u2019s aim for this residency was twofold; to concentrate on practice without restriction and to explore the potential of working within a studio context. Working this way enabled him to concentrate on the quality of his work rather than the amount produced. As a result, Sparnon\u2019s practice has metamorphosised over the past 18 months, evolving through an exploration of both material and subject."}, {"text_idx": "#000012", "text": "With the benefit of been provided with time to reflect, and time to be patient with the works created, the Step Change Fellowship has enabled Sparnon to discover different methodologies of working. Creating works that respond to the artist\u2019s everyday encounters - photographs, landscapes, reflective lighting, sounds, shapes and forms of everyday objects - he has become intrigued by the idea of layering, unravelling, intertwining, and decontextualising the boundaries between objects, events, paintings and sculpture."}, {"text_idx": "#000013", "text": "Sparnon\u2019s practice addresses the human condition, how recollections, thoughts, secrets, and experiences can inhabit the space of painting.
