Clementine Keith-Roach | Artist

Clementine Keith-Roach (b. 1984, UK) is a sculptor of new ruins. Her work centres around the process of plaster-casting. Casts taken from her body and other objects are melded with antique terracotta vessels and trompe l'oeil painted to create a continuous surface that blurs the boundary between body and object, skin and clay. Her works a reminiscent of archeological artefacts, but they also propose new worlds to come. They are thus both funerary and pregnant with possibility.

Clementine Keith-Roach work has recently been included in Wonder and Wakefulness: The Nature of Pliny the Elder at Herbert F. Johnson Museum of Art, Cornell University, New York, 2023; and Milk, The Wellcome Collection, London, UK. Recent solo and two-person exhibitions include New Statue, PPOW, New York, 2024; Earth Sky Body Ruins (with Christopher Page), Ben Hunter, London, 2023; Knots (with Christopher Page), PPOW, New York, 2022; and Mythemes, Ben Hunter, London, 2021.

Clementine is an editor of Effects, a journal of art, poetry, and essays. She lives and works in Dorset, UK.
