Jessica Harrison. Transformative ceramic works. Uses found ceramic items and contemporizes them with glaze/tattoos/viscera.

The original figurines have a twee and sickly ideal of femininity. Ridiculously unattainable body shapes.

Transformed to the truth of Womanhood.
Rosamund (2010) found ceramic, epoxy resin, paint 21cm x 12cm x 12cm


Homeward Bound (2014) ceramic 35cm x 19cm x 22cm

Clear inspiration from the past, heavy with nostalgia.

Liberty archive prints. Translated into modern context with stretch Lycra bodysuits and leggings. Each print fills me with textile joy. Whimsical yet clean cut, statement pieces.
