Join us at the Foundling Museum for a panel discussion exploring the parallels between clay and the concept of self.
The malleability of clay makes it an ever-changing medium. External qualities like temperature, moisture, and pressure impact clay, as well as the touch of our hands. What similarity does this bear to our personalities, how we shape our identities, and our sense of self? Furthermore, how have artists used clay as a vessel to encompass ideas of identity?
The Foundling Museum’s exhibiting artists Phoebe Collings-James, Rachel Kneebone and Matt Smith will discuss some of these ideas in a talk chaired by artist, curator and researcher Dr Clare Twomey. This panel is part of the programming for the current exhibition, Self-Made: Reshaping Identities.
