Gordon Baldwin is a central figure of British modernism. He redefined the potential of clay as an artistic medium with his organic, often asymmetrical sculptures and their textured surfaces. The exhibition presents around 40 works from five decades, it explores the concept of the vessel in drawing and ceramic sculpture as a poetic medium. The title Inscape, a term coined by the poet Gerard Manley Hopkins, describes a dynamic where inner life branches into the world. Baldwin gives body to this notion through his vessels, the self pulsates between inwardness and a vast, ever-shifting landscape, resonating continuously between grounding and disorientation, a sense of belonging and the feeling of being exposed to the world.

The exhibition is accompanied by a monograph that links Baldwin’s sculptural work with his drawings and poetry for the first time.
