Beth Carter
Beth models in clay, working directly on the sculpture, before casting into bronze and her drawings are worked in charcoal.

She says of her work, “On one level, my pieces are purely symbolic, talking about our instincts, yet they are they are allegorical, too.” For this exhibition, Beth has introduced a modern phenomenon in her new series of clown sculptures. “My clowns are spooky, ambiguous and scary, although I don’t specifically design them like this,” she believes. “There is something poignant about a clown who can’t change his or her expression.” Indeed, ‘there is nothing laughable about a clown at midnight!’

Emma and Beth use disproportionate scale to convey paradoxes in vulnerability and strength - sometimes a large animal will be depicted as very small against an out of scale human figure. Nevertheless, all their figures have a solidity and vitality which belies their ethereal quality. Showing how ‘in the night imagining some fear, how easy is a bush suppos’d a bear,’ this body of work verges on a world which inhabits a space between sleep and dreams.
