Lauren Blakey
Ceramic Tile Series
Bloom Tiles
10” x 10”
$325
Toronto-based artist Lauren Blakey creates ceramic works that blur the line between sculpture and function, focusing on the physicality and material presence of clay. Influenced by the natural world, her work explores themes of growth, decay, strength, and fragility. Inspired by organic surfaces like moss, lichen, and algae, Blakey’s textured, geologically inspired forms evoke erosion, sediment, and time. Her pieces resemble unearthed relics or remnants, suggesting a deep connection to nature’s cycles and history. Through crumbling, layered surfaces, she creates visual metaphors for transformation and continuity, inviting viewers to reflect on the symbiotic relationships found in the natural world.
