Footnote
Halima Cassell is one of the most dynamic ceramicists and sculptors working in Britain today. Her sculpture reflects her dual nationality and her British heritage (having been born in Kashmir and grown up in north-west England) and shows her love of architecture, geometry and natural forms. Cassell uses definite lines and dramatic angles, attempting to create an unsettling sense of movement.
Cassell exhibits widely both in the UK and internationally, and her work is represented in many notable public and private collections including the V&A, London; Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery; and the Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool. She currently has a major solo exhibition at Manchester Art Gallery, Halima Cassell: Eclectica Global Inspirations.
'While working, Cassell becomes deeply involved in each piece to the point where she is unaware of her surroundings even watching her work on a piece for a few minutes, it is obvious that the process commands all her attention'– Emmanuel Cooper
We would like to thank Halima Cassell for assisting in the cataloguing of this lot.
