Coral Cubes

Zoe Clare’s work bridges the beauty of nature with sculptural innovation, creating ceramic forms that are both bold and delicately layered. Inspired by botanical rhythms and the shifting movements of the ocean, her practice explores how natural growth adapts to its environment, evolving in response to obstacles and encounters. These references are abstracted rather than imitated - transformed into sculptural expressions of resilience, fragility, and transformation. Each piece offers a glimpse into nature’s unseen patterns, inviting reflection on the hidden vitality of the world around us.

 

Her porcelain sculptures emerge as organic structures, robust yet delicate. Textured exteriors contrast with luminous, intricately glazed interiors, creating a dynamic interplay of strength and vulnerability. The surfaces suggest depth and motion, capturing the tension between permanence and change.

 

This language of growth extends into her vase forms. Though rooted in function, they transcend utility, becoming expressive, sculptural vessels that expand her artistic vocabulary. Zoe’s distinctive voice lies in work that is both visually compelling and conceptually layered, redefining boundaries in contemporary ceramics.
