Caroline’s work embodies an acceptance of imperfection and a fascination with intense materiality.
Her work addresses the contemporary destabilising factors one encounters in life; the expression of tension, the processing of personal and environmental grief and the wider influence of family and social expectation on the discovery of self.
Caroline works with clay, glass, bronze, plastics and wax and is keen to respond to the questions of sustainability that surround the artists role in response to increasing environmental pressures. Her work with museum artefacts and antiquities led to an exploration of the ambivalence of memory and recorded history.
Caroline studied Ceramics 3D Design (BA) at Loughborough College of Art and Design, and Ceramics and Glass (MA) at the Royal College of Art.
I start from the earth
and early memories of the deep scent of soil
and the joy of digging crumbly dirt,
and sticky mud, and of dark gritty outlines to my hands.
