Annelie Stokke Grimwade “Keeper of the Threads – Dice”

2024
Glazed ceramic
13 x 13 x 13 cm

 

Annelie Stokke Grimwade presents a new series of sculptures made in residency at the V&A Wedgewood Collection. Stokke Grimwade examines Josiah Wedgwood’s complex legacy and the contradiction of his anti-slavery campaigns against the extractive colonial systems and exploitative labour that aided his industrial advancements. She describes how this is mirrored in today’s rapid expansion of green technologies and the exploitation of artisanal miners worldwide. Her research culminated in a series of otherworldly sculptures and an interactive performance that explore motifs including the spider, web, heart, rose, drip, and the silver lining—each a metaphor for interconnectedness and resilience, conveying solidarity through collective labour, symbolism, and mythological storytelling.
