Pippa Burley is a Lewes based figurative sculptor who has sold her work widely over the last 25 years.

Working from clay, Pippa’s figures are created both from real life studies, and through informed imagination. The process varies, firing some pieces, and casting others into Ciment Fondue. Focusing on the humanity of each subject, Pippa’s work expresses an inner thoughtfulness combined with a robust understanding of the human form.

Her powerful pieces leave you observing in silence. The big questions of what is to be human are silently asked, as her masterful play on proportions which elongate the faces of her studies leave them feeling half human, half something beyond. 

Are they memories, are they fragments of past lives, are they the transcendent ones? Pippa's sculptures have such immense presence and represent small pieces of her magical mind.
