Is-geryntau emosiynol sy'n gorgyffwrdd rhwng hynafiad ac artist ar Afon Tafwys yn Lloegr Fictoraidd.
Ym 1872, tra'n byw ar lan afon Tafwys yn Chelsea, Llundain, cynhyrchodd James Abbott McNeill Whistler y paentiad atmosfferig, tonal Nocturne mewn Glas ac Aur, Hen Bont Battersea. Wedi'i ddylanwadu gan brintiau Japaneaidd, cafodd ei waith arloesol ei gamddeall yn llwyr a hyd yn oed ei wawdio yn Lloegr Fictoraidd. Roedd hynafiad Sarah Tremlett yn fargemon, yn byw ar yr un pryd, yn Swan Wharf, Battersea, ar ochr dlawd yr afon, a dim ond tafliad carreg o'r olygfa hon. Mae'n bosibl y gallai'r dyn yn y llun fod yn George, a gallai hyd yn oed fod wedi cludo Whistler i safleoedd delfrydol ar gyfer peintio. Fodd bynnag, roeddwn i hefyd yn teimlo bod ceryntau emosiynol cudd yng nghefndiroedd y ddau a oedd, heb yn wybod iddo, yn gwneud i Whistler gael ei ddenu at y ffigur unig. Mae'r gerdd wedi'i hysgrifennu mewn modd neo-Symbolaidd, ac mae'r lluniau cyfoes o'r un safbwynt â'r paentiad. Er nad yw'r dirwedd sain gan y cyfansoddwr blaenllaw o Wlad Belg, Marc Neys, wedi'i hysbrydoli gan Debussy, ond esblygodd o ddiddordeb Tremlett yn ei ymadroddion ailadroddus, a'i gyfeillgarwch â Whistler. Cymerwyd y ffilm hon o TREE, cronicl hanes teulu sydd ar ddod gan Sarah Tremlett.
Dyma'r fersiwn fyrrach, pum munud o'r ffilm. Mae yna hefyd fersiwn saith munud gyda cherdd hirach.
Mae'r gwaith hwn hefyd yn arbrofi gyda phaentio gyda ffilm

Overlapping emotional undercurrents between an ancestor and an artist on the River Thames in Victorian England.
In 1872, whilst living beside the river Thames in Chelsea, London, James Abbott McNeill Whistler produced the atmospheric, tonal painting Nocturne in Blue and Gold, Old Battersea Bridge. Influenced by Japanese prints, his innovative work was totally misunderstood and even ridiculed in Victorian England. Sarah Tremlett's ancestor was a lighterman (bargeman), living at the same time, at Swan Wharf, Battersea, on the poor side of the river, and just a stone’s throw from this view. It is possible the man in the picture could be George, and he could even have ferried Whistler to ideal sites for painting. However, I also felt that there were hidden emotional currents in both their backgrounds that unknowingly made Whistler drawn to the lonely figure. The poem is written in neo-Symbolist mode, and the contemporary footage is from the same point of view as the painting. The soundscape by leading Belgian composer Marc Neys, though not inspired by Debussy, evolved from Tremlett’s fascination with his repetitive phrases, and his friendship with Whistler. This film is taken from TREE, a forthcoming family history chronicle by Sarah Tremlett.
This is the shorter, five-minute version of the film. There is also a seven-minute version with a longer poem.
This work also experiments with painting with film
