Kerry Jameson trained at Central Saint Martins College of Art & Design and the Royal College of Art. Her ceramic and mixed media sculptures are inspired by the flow of things seen every day, as well as by the art she looks at from the past. Drawing on found imagery, historical references, and personal observation, her work explores the tension between the familiar and the surreal, often evoking a sense of disquiet and wonder.
She has exhibited widely, both nationally and internationally, with solo exhibitions at Marsden Woo Gallery including The Matter Series (2023), Battle-Worn Series (2022), The Contingency (2018), Alchemy (2016), Unbounded (2013), and Conflicts (2009), as well as solo shows at Lacoste Gallery in the United States. Her work has featured in major group exhibitions such as Material Earth at Messums Wiltshire, Masters of British Studio Pottery at Collect, Singapore Ceramics Now at Gillman Barracks, Australian Ceramics Triennale, Studio: Ceramicists and their Studios at Ruthin Crafts Centre, NCECA at Belger Arts (USA), SOFA (Chicago and New York), the Summer Exhibition at the Royal Academy of Arts, and the Crafts Council at the V&A.
Her work is held in public collections including the Fitzwilliam Museum, the Anthony Shaw Collection at York Art Gallery, Gallery Oldham, the Archie Bray Foundation (USA), and Sculptureum (New Zealand). She has been shortlisted for the FIRST@108 Public Art Award and the Arts Foundation Ceramics Fellowship, and has received awards from the Adolph & Esther Gottlieb Foundation and the Oppenheim-John Downes Memorial Trust. She has also taken part in international residencies, and regularly gives artist talks, teaching demonstrations, and seminars in the UK, USA, Australia, and Singapore.
