About the Artist
Kerrie Illsley is an artist whose work explores the relationships we form with the objects that share our lives.
Working from her studio in Derbyshire, Kerrie's practice is rooted in everyday observation, finding tenderness and humour in the ordinary things that share our spaces.
Through her work, Kerrie explores how familiar possessions can become companions to our routines, quietly holding traces of human experience and a surprising sense of presence.
Studio practice
Working primarily in clay, I create one-of-a-kind pieces using traditional hand-building techniques. Each work develops slowly and individually, without moulds or casting, allowing room for personality, surprise and connection.
Every piece is original, signed and made in small numbers from my studio in Derbyshire.
