My artistic practice is centered in ceramics. Working with clay is an engaging process for me as I find the medium constantly expressive and versatile. Over the past year, I have been making paintings in ceramic and taking my practice out of the studio and into the world around me, exploring different places to paint. This process allows me to enjoy the un-paralleled response to working from life while combining it with the unique quality of clay.
Blending the visual and tangible Macphee creates entertaining illusions and a sense of complexity that traverses the border between 2D and 3D. In 2018 she was awarded a residency at Untitled Space, Shanghai where she had the opportunity to produce large-scale sculptures combining painting and ceramics.
Her work has been selected for a number of prestigious shows in the UK including the 2020 Summer Exhibition at the Royal Academy and the International Ceramics Festival in Aberystwyth when she was selected as a finalist for the Emerging Makers Award
