Celia Dowson Shadow Figure White Salt glaze with Iron speckle

Celia's hand carved figures explore philosophies surrounding human consciousness. Their soft and simplified forms are developed through studying light, the shadows they cast, recognition of form and the philosophies of Carl Gustav Jung. These sculptures are shaped by the idea of repression, self-recognition and acceptance. They suggest through elongation their movement into a higher state of self-awareness.

Celia Dowson is an artist whose ceramics and cast glass objects go far beyond their functional use. Celia graduated with a BA in Ceramic Design from Central Saint Martins in 2014, before receiving her MA in Ceramics and Glass from the Royal College of Art in 2018. Her work is currently on display in the permanent collection of the V&A. 

Celia works with the different properties of glass and porcelain to evoke the movement of nature in different ways. Through marks and gestures, her porcelain vessels represent evolving landscapes, mountainscapes and seascapes. Her glass pieces vary in thickness, causing subtle gradations in colour. This reflects the colours, changing light and mystery of the natural world.
