Edinburgh based ceramic artist Pauline Cumming brings a bold feminist perspective to hand-built earthenware and stoneware. Trained in Drawing and Painting at Edinburgh College of Art, she worked internationally in education before returning to Scotland to focus on her art. Her work has been shown at numerous exhibitions across Scotland.
"As a painter who makes ceramics, my hand-rolled earthenware plates are intimate little canvases for my stories about women. I often depict strong females, inspired by classical paintings, and explore themes of women's life experiences including domesticity, motherhood and menopause. I love the juxtaposition of the historical female, circumventing her traditional role of muse or object of beauty, to bellow out a feminist message of empowerment and sisterhood. I hope my work resonates with those who enjoy my candid humour and empathetic view of women and their experiences. I spent six years living in the Netherlands and my colour palette of strong cobalt blue is a direct influence of Delftware. I return regularly to stock up on the delftsblauw underglaze that is a trademark of my work." Join our mailing list for an exclusive invitation to the preview and early online access to the new work.
