Description
Claire Partington's figures inhabit an uncanny world, strange yet familiar to us, where silken Renaissance courtiers and goddesses in Primark leggings live out the fairy tales of Perrault and d'Aulnoy. A world in which the human body mutates, expands and contracts beyond its limits, allowing the outer self to reveal fundamental truths from within.
Partington's ceramic world is a darkly playful rewriting of art history, in which conventional iconography is upended - and with it, conventional power structures.
