Virginia Leonard, Blue Blood with Crown, 2020, Clay, lustre & resin, 130 x 50 x 50cm, IMG X Oliver King

Virginia Leonard’s ceramics delight in the visceral.

The large vessel-like structures recall domestic everyday items, yet the familiar shapes of vases, jugs, and urns are abstracted, morphed into melting masses of sticky resin and bulging lumps. Oozing clay, resin, and glaze forms are fired mid drip, capturing the precarious nature of Leonard’s physical approach to manipulating her chosen material.

This is her first exhibition of works that incorporate abstracted up-cycled eiderdowns and fabrics in oils and resin.
