Lives and works in Glasgow
Tucker graduated from the Edinburgh College of Art in 2017 and now lives in Glasgow, working from a studio outside the city. Her work was recently featured in a solo show in London at Five Years in 2023.
She intensified her research into neo-medievalism while in rural France, taking inspiration from a day trip to Bordeaux where she was on a mission to find as many gargoyles as possible as fodder to produce her Gothic and monstrously inspired ceramics that re-imagine histories and potential futures while mining the art of the Middle Ages. Tucker’s ceramic sculptures could be best described as anachronistic artifacts, historically ambiguous due to the diverse source material they draw from. The mutable nature of symbols plays a strong role as she is interested in images that have been used to signify different things in different cultures. This enhances each object’s timelessness and allows for open-ended interpretations.
Selected Recent Exhibitions include: Illuminations, Steve Turner Gallery, Los Angeles (2023); Neo-Gothic, OHSH Projects, London (2023); God of War, OHSH Projects, London (2022); Cool, Fresh, Sweet Waters, The Tub Hackney, London (2022); Gambrel, Saltspace Gallery, Glasgow (2022); Destructive Mollusc, Haze Projects, London (2022) and Interior Castles, Hartslane, London (2022).
