Between object and sculpture, a ceramic practice of memory and symbol, where matter preserves the trace of gesture, time, and an intimate mythology.

Pauline de Selys Longchamps was born in Brussels. Her early years in Rome and Florence profoundly shaped her relationship to beauty and the history of forms.

Pauline later lived in Los Angeles, New York, Lisbon and Brussels. Her travels to Wyoming, Mexico, Egypt, Morocco, India and France enriched her artistic approach through the diversity of landscapes, cultures and traditions.

Pauline has developed a particular sensitivity to people, colour, texture, pattern and form - elements she considers essential to her practice. All of these human and visual influences now shape a ceramic practice that is sensitive, embodied and deeply personal.
