Cleo Mussi
Cleo Mussi is an established and yet maverick ceramicist, drawing gestural figurative mosaics from repurposed historical ceramic tableware. Working within the folk tradition she creates contemporary, elegant, decorative and political pieces with humour and a lightness of touch. Mussi marshals inherent properties gleaned from patterns, marks, forms, colour and text into a world of narratives reflecting the time that we live in. Cleo’s pieces are in private collections world wide and in many public spaces throughout the UK. Cleo was represented at The British Ceramics Biennial in 2021 and has recently published ‘Mussi Mosaic Manufactory’; a career of thirty-four years.
