How do we process memory, class, and the expectations placed upon us—especially when so much is left unsaid?

This new installation presents work acquired by Amgueddfa Cymru shown layered across a more recent body of work called Chased Losses and makes multiple references to childhood memory, familial relationships and a shared condition of ‘not expecting much’.

These themes are explored in work across media including sculpture, textile, painting and print. The letters ‘un’, drawn from the masthead of The Sun newspaper, is a recurring motif that links works together, repeating into what Edwards has described as a social stutter, a marker for the uncertainties of negotiating life from a working-class background. Much of the work, composed of fragments or slices of imagery gesture to the circularity of social and personal issues left unaddressed and respond to the artefacts of behaviour and memory we try to leave behind.
