Ashley Sheekey

A mid-blue glazed, tall stoneware vase stands on top of a white plinth. The glaze colour is reminiscent of classic blue denim, with some deeper navy blue aspcets across the surface. The piece has an array of spouts in varying size arranged over its surface, placed at different angles so that flower stems can be fed into them. Underneath the glaze there are some soft relief patterns that look like thin vines or tendrils creeping up the body of the vase.

Ashley Sheekey is an artist based in Brighton, UK.

I make work (drawings, ceramics, writing, collaborative projects) that explores my interest in the urban environment. I am especially intrigued by the overlap between public and private space, and the presence of generous and hostile design.

At the moment

I’m excited to have a selection of my works on show at The House and available through Plinth online.

In the studio I’m developing a series of wet/dry vases influenced by ironwork railings and refining the form of some new slip-decorated stoneware jugs.

A second iteration of my ongoing collaborative project, COMMON PLACE is also in progress.
