FLAWED 15

Clare Palmer, a graduate of the City Lit Ceramics Diploma, has earned recognition for her emotionally resonant and abstract ceramic sculptures. Working from her London studio, she creates handbuilt wall sculptures and sculptural vessels in porcelain and stoneware, exploring themes of emotional impact, fragility, and strength through the manipulation of clay.

Clare is an emerging figure in contemporary ceramics, with her work featured in exhibitions such as Ceramic Art London and Collect at Somerset House. She is represented by Ruup & Form, and her pieces have been showcased at prestigious events like the Affordable Art Fair and Fresh Air Sculpture Show.

Clare Palmer’s sculptures named 'Flawed' explore the tension between outward appearances and the emotional struggles that lie beneath. Using her signature combination of handbuilt forms and sculptural vessels, Palmer crafts pieces that embody the delicate balance between strength and fragility. The outward perfection of the forms subtly betrays the inner turmoil they conceal. Through the use of porcelain and stoneware, Palmer manipulates the material to create tension in the curved forms, symbolizing the emotional strain of holding everything in just to carry on.

Flawed stands as a metaphor for the internal battles we face, asking viewers to look beyond the surface to discover the vulnerability within.
