Clementine Keith-Roach
b.1984Clementine Keith-Roach is a sculptor of new ruins. Her work centres around the process of plaster-casting. Casts taken from her body and other objects are melded with antique terracotta vessels and trompe l’oeil painted to create a continuous surface that blurs the boundary between body and object, skin and clay. Her works are reminiscent of archaeological artefacts, but they also propose new worlds to come. They are thus both funerary and pregnant with possibility.
Keith-Roach lives and works in Dorset, UK and is represented by Ben Hunter, London and P.P.O.W, New York. Recent exhibitions include Full Haus: The Seeld Library, Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, USA; Mademoiselle, Centre Régional d’Art Contemporain Occitane, Sète, France; Earth, Sky and Body Ruins, Ben Hunter, London, UK; Present Tense, Hauser and Wirth, Somerset, UK; City of Ceram-ics - All About the Vessel, Gmunden, Austria; Wonder and Wakefulness: The Nature of Pliny the Elder, Herbert F. Johnson Museum of Art, Cornell University, New York, USA; Slip Tease, Kasmin, New York, USA; Milk, Wellcome Collection, London, UK and New Statue, P.P.O.W, New York, USA.
Keith-Roach is also an editor of Effects, a journal of art, poetry, and essays.
