Jemma Gowland
JG539Y34 Birdy
This sculpture (made during a Ceramic Review masterclass photoshoot) is hand-built in porcelain with gold lustre details, on a jesmonite base. The masked figure has clothing which is sewn to fit; the layers of porcelain, oxides, glaze, and metal pins, create a disrupted and fragile effect.

About this maker
Jemma’s work explores the way that girls are generally constrained from birth to conform to an appearance and code of behaviour, to present a perfect face and maintain the expectations of others. The use of porcelain or stoneware with layered disrupted surfaces, describe the vulnerability beneath. Â
