‘Earthly Bodies’ is the third major ceramic exhibition at Sarah Myerscough Gallery – following on from its forebears, ‘Random Growth’ (2015-2016) and ‘Tectonics’ (2019) that explored anarchic and geodic tendencies in contemporary ceramics respectively.
Rhythmic gestures and evolving figuration – to bind body and clay feels intrinsic. Yet, amongst the suggestions of a shapely Amphora, or fleshy textures of leather-hard clays, there is a yearning to expand upon ceramic practices as informed by the traces of a living body.
