Emily Stapleton Jefferis

MA work

This body of work draws upon the materiality of clay to explore states of flux and growth. Pieces rise from the ground, shifting, morphing and reaching; engaging the viewer with their human scale. They are a terrain of the body, of the landscape, of touch, of memory.
