Sally MacDonell
Sally creates personalities within her clay figures that share a sense of warmth and calm. A great observer of people, she elevates the everyday moments of human interaction from the ordinary into something special.
All Sally’s figures are handbuilt using slabs of clay and coils. Modelling spontaneously from the inside, squeezing and pinching the clay together, before pushing out. Layering oxides, slips, and engobes to develop complex finished surfaces that reflect the richness of human experience; Sally’s busts draw inspiration from medieval sculpture while remaining firmly rooted in the present, capturing a sense of universal humanity.
