Juliet Ferguson-Rose

Juliet Ferguson-Rose is a London-based artist and sculptor assembling personal, prehistorical and topographical references within her practice. As an artist and sculptor primarily working in clay, she is making sculptures as both maker and ‘archaeologist’ of collaged space, time and objects.

Through excavating, mixing, cutting, compressing and attaching clay, she unearths and creates layers of surface and meaning. Drawing upon this broad visual language of making, components are grouped to expose topographical portals, where narratives are arranged and rearranged, becoming an assemblage of relics preserved in time.

This approach parallels archaeologist excavating with the process of an artist who mines concepts from the recesses of their mind, both seeking to stumble upon the unknown. Fundamentally, Juliet creates works that aspire to delight herself and the viewer’s curiosity, reminding us that no layer is the same in the process of discovery.
