Isabel Wynn’s practice explores the reinvention of ceramic sculpture heralded by a new generation of artists. Born in São Paulo, Brazil and raised in Steveston, British Columbia, she studied ceramics at Langara College and Emily Carr University where the foundations for the methodologies shaping her current sculptural practice were laid. Like many in her generation, Isabel Wynn is in constant contact with artists who work in similar mediums and fashions. These ongoing conversations, both online and in person, allow the range of influences within her work to grow, expanding into territories previously unknown. Wynn is equally attentive to the rich history of the studio pottery movement in British Columbia, marked by the work of practitioners such as Tam Irving and John Reeve. Artists such as Glenn Lewis and Gathie Falk pulled away from functional pottery and added their own styles, influenced by Funk, Pop Art, and Surrealism. The idea that ceramic works are more craft than art continues to be disrupted by today’s artists who expand the applications for this age-old medium.
