Wild Women flower bricks will be on show at The Wilson, Cheltenham, 21 Feb - 31 Aug 2025. Curated by Ben Edge, Common Ground invites visitors to explore stories of change, loss, rebellion, and reclamation in relation to common land and the natural environment. #art #sculpture #ceramics
Image: Claire Partington, Wild Women Flower bricks I & II, 2022. Ceramic and painted artificial flowers. H65 x W28 x D17cm and H53 x W37 x D17cm

Inspired by the depiction of wild women in secular medieval art. These are a mix of wild women and the non secular Mary Magdalene imagery, taking on the poses of "beasts". They sit amongst the artificial wilderness and tamed nature atop majolica style flower bricks.
