Elaine Wilson's work explores received ideas about women and femininity and the perpetuation of romantic and stereotypical ideals most recently through the language and tradition of ornament and figurines. Having worked with clay and ceramic processes for many years Wilson has chosen during her recent research post as Norma Lipman Fellow in Ceramic Sculpture to critically revisit the subtle politics of ceramic ornament and the wider contexts of vanity and masquerade.

The double action of looking and the relationship between self and otherness is explored in Seeing myself Seeing, two large ceramic figures/figurines which form the centre piece of her exhibition SPOILED at the Hatton Gallery , the collage works which relate to the ceramic sculpture are also concurrently on show until 12 December at The Globe Gallery http://www.globegallery.org
