Heather Gibson is a self-taught ceramicist based in North London. Her artworks span from large scale ceramic wall pieces to sculptural hand carved vessels and tableware. Having originally trained in Fine Art Photography at Nottingham Trent University, she now works predominantly in clay.

​

Heather Gibson uses clay as a canvas to explore trace, time, memory and mark-making. Drawing inspiration from geology, archaeology and abstract expressionism, her ceramics serve as a portal into the intricate topographies of human memory, and the unseen landscapes concealed beneath the surface of the Earth. 

​

Her method is an assemblage of time, layering individual moments together to gradually construct unique surface narratives. Gestural movement, gravitational force and alchemical transformation are used to navigate the push and pull between time, material and ourselves.
