An Cnàimh-Deoghail / The Suckling Bone is in the process of becoming a body of work that merges ceramic sculptures, wall hangings and textiles alongside cast industrial remnants. Tractor engine parts left to rust on the moor are vessels and containers to hold. Foetal forms, umbilical cords, cogs, bones and pelvic sockets are motifs imprinted in and on the clay. This work explores the notion of utility (of women's bodies and in wider society).
Materials: stoneware, earthenware dug from the moor, glazes made from peat ash, breast milk, Lewisian gneiss, Siabost quartz and sand.
this work will be exhibited in the winter of 2025 at Grinneabhat, isle of lewis.
