CAROLINE GIBBES
Sculptor
After a 35-year creative career as a jewellery, fashion, event, and interior designer in Australia, NYC and Hong Kong, Caroline Gibbes’ sophisticated style and creative expression is reflected in her unique and authentic approach to ceramics. Her head turning characters, excavated from an eccentric mind, embody the joy and perseverance of the human spirit.
Exploring the complexities of female identity, Gibbes speaks of the global desire for women of all ages to take their equal place in the world. The many roles, facets and expectations placed on women and girls today are reflected in her playful, multidimensional works. Fired in the pressures of modern society these highly satirical works revel in the light of a changing world. Spun and pulled in many directions by the complications of a crowded life, her sculptures explore the power of womanhood, in all its confusion and glory.
