take a break
Elaine Lim-Newton’s contemporary ceramic sculptures combine influences from complex natural forms, contrasting architectural structures and her dual British and East Asian heritage.
Working exclusively by hand in her Derby studio, each piece is meticulously hand-built using coiling, slabbing and modelling techniques from stoneware, red and porcelain clays. The intricate elements are created and applied individually; this instinctive process gives each piece a sense of movement and a life of its own. Bold coloured glossy and matt textural glazes are used to enhance each form and give an enticing tactility to each piece.
Over two decades of sculpting experience have taken Elaine’s work beyond the studio, from public commissions for hospitals and civic spaces to regular gallery exhibitions and events.
The sculptures are coming soon.
