Celeste McEvoy

Celeste McEvoy is a ceramic artist based in southeast London. Her hand-built sculptures reference ancient amphoras and relics from the past, adding experimental surface textures and shapes to historical forms. 

Her practice explores her personal relationship with social mobility and the desire for total assimilation. Often presenting roadside debris and found objects alongside her ceramics as means of ethnographic collection, the artist’s work investigates themes of aspiration, hierarchy and the need for cultural capital.
