Jess Skelton: Trajectory

Jess Skelton, winner of the 2024 Rising Stars Award, presents Trajectory, an exhibition that reflects the progression of her work over the past year. She blends porcelain and black clay, embracing imperfections to highlight contrasts between fragility and strength. Inspired by urban decay and discarded objects, her pieces challenge conventional ideas of perfection. Her collection reflects an evolving practice where expressive mark-making and bold colour inclusions enhance each piece’s character. By pushing material boundaries, Jess explores themes of resilience and transformation, inviting collectors to see beauty in imperfection.
