For What Slips Beneath the Sugar’ fabricated by @barnabymakes , formed this ghost from a single sheet of mild steel - reflecting everything, never fully resolving.
I kept returning to the figure at the table - the one who made, gathered, offered.
Both me, and not me. Host and absence. Surface and shadow. A cumulative figure given body.
Megan Mulrooney is pleased to announce our representation of London-based artist Alma Berrow. The announcement follows two recent projects with the artist: her presentation at FOG Design+Art in San Francisco, where she exhibited oversized ashtrays depicting the seven deadly sins, and What Slips Beneath the Sugar, an installation of trompe l’oeil ceramics centered on the concept of dinatoire. The latter marked her first solo exhibition in the United States.
“Alma Berrow engages cultural history and theory with an acerbic wit, producing sumptuous ceramic works that function as hyperreal renderings of everyday objects, often those we consume, whether in virtue or indulgence,” says Megan Mulrooney.
Alma Berrow’s practice spans sculpture and installation, with a focus on the symbolic and material dimensions of consumption, desire, and habit. Her works, frequently modeled after food, drugs, and domestic ephemera, occupy a charged space between seduction and critique, where pleasure is rendered tactile and often tipping into the grotesque.
Alma Berrow (b. 1992; lives and works in Dorset) recently had her first solo U.S. exhibition with Megan Mulrooney. Recent solo exhibitions include LAMB Gallery, London, and Galería Hilario Galguera. Group presentations include Cerámica Suro: A Story of Collaboration, Production, and Collecting in the Contemporary Arts at the Dallas Museum of Art (2023); Form: (Women) Makers at Sotheby’s, London (2023); and In Real Life at Timothy Taylor (2021). Her work has been covered by publications such as the New York Times, Family Style, and ArtNet. Her work is in the public collections of Inhotim, BZ; Bunker Space Miami, US; The Blaffer Art Museum, US; Massimo Antichi, IT; and Ceramica Suro, MX.

Alma Berrow, Summer Resident
"I’m really excited to spend time at The Bray working at a larger scale and pushing my practice into something more immersive and architectural.
My work often explores femininity, folklore, and the communing through ceramics. I’m interested in how objects can hold narrative and feeling, and how they sit between function and form, light and dark, playing with the adult and child in us all.
During the residency, I’m hoping to experiment more freely with scale, build more ambitious forms, and explore how these pieces can exist in space in a more physical, enveloping way." - Alma Berrow
Alma Berrow (b. 1992, Dorset, UK) is a British ceramic artist creating intricate trompe l’oeil sculptures that reimagine the still life through a contemporary lens. Her work playfully occupies the space between adult and child, humour and unease, often depicting food, tablescapes and domestic scenes that feel both familiar and subtly disquieting.
Berrow began working with ceramics during the first COVID-19 lockdown in Dorset, developing a self-taught practice rooted in slow, highly detailed making.
Her work has been presented in a number of solo and group exhibitions, including three solo exhibitions with Lamb Gallery in London, as well as presentations with Sotheby’s and Timothy Taylor. She recently presented her first US solo exhibition, What Slips Beneath the Sugar, with Megan Mulrooney in Los Angeles, and has undertaken an international residency in Guadalajara with Cerámica Suro.
Her practice is increasingly expanding into larger, installation-based works that explore themes of community, ritual and shared experience.
One week left to view Alma Berrow’s exhibition “What Sleeps Beneath the Sugar”. Alma’s installation explores the tension hidden within domestic life: pleasure, care, and desire, alongside their darker and more uncomfortable counterparts. Inspired by her grandmother’s collection of cookbooks, Berrow reflects on the women in her family, the roles they performed and the ways they often disappeared within them.
The exhibition looks to the 1970s as a particular touchstone, an era where retro glamour met a hint of the grotesque. Berrow leans into this friction, creating works that are luscious yet uncanny. The result is a “fermented” ambivalence, a body of work that expresses gratitude for inherited knowledge while questioning the stifling expectations that often accompanied it.

What began as a pandemic experiment with clay quickly rose into a full-fledged practice for ceramic artist Alma Berrow. Drawing on her time as a pastry chef and the rituals of family meals, her quirky works turn tablescapes and domesticity into vessels for humor and narrative. Now, Berrow debuts her first U.S. solo exhibition, “What Slips Beneath the Sugar,” at Megan Mulrooney Gallery in Los Angeles.
