"Emily's ceramic practice transforms vessels thrown on the potter's wheel into biomorphic sculptural forms that explore body perception, identity and sexuality. While rooted in the traditions of the pottery craft, Emily plays and experiments with thrown forms to create abstract body representation. Her inspiration comes from work in female empowerment, studies into prehistoric sculpture and her personal journey of body discovery." Soo happy with this image from my photoshoot last Friday!! All I need to do now is transport these 3 totems to London for @collectartfair 2024 - wish me luck🤞 You can get tickets for the show on the Crafts Council website. 📸 Big thanks to @andrepattendenpersonal for some amazing photography #biomorphicart #ceramicsculpure #femalebody #exquisitecorpse #wheelthrownandaltered #curvesandstrength #baringall #realbeauty #anybody #collectopen2024 #collectart #contemporarysculpture #collectartfair2024 #collectartfair #feminineclay

Matching with my installation for the opening of BRISTOL CLAY exhibition👁️ 5 - 17 Dec 11am - 5pm @centrespacegallery @bristol.clay Rush of Eyes Emily Gibbard, 2025 Stoneware Wall Mural 4m x 3m In my dream, a thousand eyes rush towards me. They murmur around me, looking, lashes beating. Why do they watch me? Do they know me? Want to know me? Want me? Me? In my dream, these eyes never leave me. They circle, silent, blinking, gazing. I think this thought. I make this piece. I drift asleep. I dream this dream. 📷@cnkphotoworks #surrealistsculpture #surrealistart #contemporaryceramics #thrownandaltered #rushofeyes
