Elaine Lim-Newton
I am a Derby and Long Eaton based visual Artist specialising in contemporary ceramics, Sculpture and Design.
About
My contemporary ceramic sculptures and homewares combine natural forms, architectural elements and influences from my East Asian heritage in a fun and modern way. Each piece is hand-built in stoneware and porcelain clays, with hand carved elements, repeating patterns and bold use of colour as key features of my work.
I also specialise in creating public art sculptures and installations in the mediums of metal and ceramics for Hospital, education and public environments. I aim to create site responsive pieces that bring a sense of calm and wellbeing to an environment or playfully invite audience interaction through elements of light, sound or touch. These sculptures will often also highlight the bonds of community and family. I have exhibited in Galleries and Museums across the UK.
Currently I combine my artistic practice with my community work, which includes coordinating and delivering projects specialising in ceramic, mixed media sculpture and East Asian arts. I have extensive experience of working with clients and participants from various education, community and healthcare settings nationwide.
