"My vases tell stories and I use them as a reference to the human condition, the idea that we are on repeat. Also, with a vase, you can't see the whole picture at once. The images on the back will always be hidden, but we know it is there. This is a reference to the way we live - we choose not to see even though we know it's there."

Everard Read London is proud to present a collection of 22 new ceramic vases by Lucinda Mudge, in her first UK solo exhibition entitled The Wolf is Always Near. The vases take inspiration from a variety of references ranging from art history to cartoons, pop songs, fabric designs and Art Deco vase patterns. Each vase is produced over a year, using hand-mixed glazes and stains.

The title of the exhibition The Wolf is Always Near is taken from a Russian lullaby, drawing on fables and the idea of animal predation. Mudge's work captivates the eye with rich colours and intricate detail, yet beneath the surfaces of her vases lurks a world simmering with paranoia and tension, stemming from racial division and social unrest in South Africa.
