Collection: Jacqueline Shortland

Explore contemporary sculptural works by artist Jacqueline, created from her studio at the edge of the Cairngorm Mountains in Scotland.

Jacqueline completed a BA (Hons) Fine Art – Sculpture in 2009 as a mature student and became the Sculpture Department at Gray’s first Graduate in Residence. Her degree show installation led to selection for the prestigious New Contemporaries Exhibition at the Royal Scottish Academy in Edinburgh, and she was also featured in London’s Catlin Guide as a highly promising emerging artist.

Moving from community art projects to her own practice, following the birth of her daughter, Jacqueline's work often incorporates alternative firing techniques such as raku and smoke firing, pushing both material and process to their limits. Through these methods, she creates sculptural forms that explore what it means to be human, and how we connect with ourselves and each other.
