Lubna Chowdhary creates sculptural objects and site-specific artworks, working primarily in the field of ceramics. Chowdhary uses the vernacular of functional design – wooden furniture, ceramic vessels and tiles – to explore cultural hybridity, the object and the body, and the relationship between hand making and industrial manufacture. In her exhibition Erratics at Middlesbrough Institute of Modern Art, the artist elaborates these key concerns, while celebrating, too, the seductive lushness of coloured glazes and geometric ornamentation.
