Sophie Wilson's ceramics embody English slipware's rich history, blending literary and artistic references in a contemporary interpretation, aiming for familiarity in decorative objects.
Ms. Wilson emphasizes that her work is not about recreating the past, but reinterpreting memories through ceramics, connecting historical art forms to modern homes.
Her signature technique utilizes 17th-century sgraffito, where etched designs reveal the rich red clay beneath, creating a visual dialogue between tradition and modernity.
The choice of decorated plates, featuring different pairings of figures, illustrates her intent to reflect diverse aspects of life, enhancing the emotional connection to the objects.
