It’s hard not to be taken aback by Susannah Montague’s ceramic sculptures. Delicately crafted, each of her pieces is made with special care and attention to details. And boy oh boy, are her sculptures detailed.
The British-Canadian sculptor blends together humans, animals, and objects making for an uneasy effect. Still, though her pieces are overflowing with characters, “these characters know much more than they let on,” states the artist on her website.
“The inspiration comes from mysticism and esotericism which touches on daydreams and the fantastical elements that haunt our nights,” she adds. “Within the eerie beauty of these ceramic sculptures is an exploration of the intersection between dreams and reality.”
“Stepping into her studio is like discovering an Eighteenth-Century Cabinet of Curiosity,” reads her website. “Her art is a collection of shamanistic characters which imbibe the peculiar, scientific and mythical qualities involved in creation.”
