Aileen Corbett’s ceramic sculptures blend art and architecture, combining figurative representation with minimal abstraction. Drawing inspiration primarily from the built environment and utilitarian architecture, her work exhibits a minimalist aesthetic characterized by clean lines, sharp angles and effulgent glazes.

Corbett explores the nuanced interplay between form and perception, pushing clay in its raw, wet state as a medium to create works that defy conventional notions of stability and gravity. Her sculptures teeter on the edge of collapse yet remain securely grounded, prompting viewers to reassess their understanding of illusion and reality, as well as how their internal mechanisms may be influencing judgment. Her most recent series are made specifically for the wall and further extend her investigations into surface, gravity and perception.

Corbett trained at Melbourne’s School of Clay and Art under Shane Kent. Since her sell-out debut at KolbuszSpace, her practice has gained increasing recognition and accolade, including a Craft Victoria Object Prize, Second Prize in the LEDA Art Prize and most recently a finalist selection in the prestigious Fisher’s Ghost Art Award.
