Display: Magdalene Odundo: The Falcon Cannot Hear the Falconer

Dame Magdalene Odundo is a major ceramic artist, known for her refined sculptural ceramic forms. A residency with Wedgwood enabled Odundo to visit the factory in Barlaston and work amongst the skilled craftspeople, inspiring a departure from her typical style. 

This monumental jasperware centrepiece stands at almost two metres tall and features interpretations of classic Wedgwood shapes and stories from the Collection.
