Sally MacDonell

Continually fascinated by people, Sally explores the human condition by modelling the female form. Drawing from visual anecdotes carefully collected and stored to later emerge as figures, the everyday moments of human interaction being elevated from the ordinary into something special.

All Sally’s figures are hand-built using slabs of clay and coils. Modelling spontaneously from the inside, squeezing and pinching the clay together, before pushing out. Oxides, coloured slips and engobes are built up in multiple layers to create surfaces with depth and experience.
