Born in 1992 in England. Lives and works in London, UK.

With playfulness and humour at the heart of her practice, Berrow’s meticulously hand-moulded ceramic objects transport us to moments of nostalgic familiarity, creating vignettes inspired by everyday life, human interaction, and shared experience.

Often inspired by intimate day-to-day experiences from her formative years, Alma Berrow’s nostalgic and uncanny artistic vocabulary is inextricably linked to personal memory.

From an intimate standpoint, she explores the aesthetics of the surreal through the reconstruction of her own memories combining ready-made objects with her highly detailed ceramic works, which she refers to as ‘fake-real’ objects. This installation encompasses Berrow’s ability to transform ordinary objects into art pieces that are both humorous and other-worldly beautiful. In Berrow’s words:

“The tarot cards 1-20 represent the path one takes in search of their unique place in the world along with its challenges and opportunities. I have not included the fool (0) as this represents the one who wonders this tree of life, at leaving them in an order 1-10 for the viewer to understand the laying. From mud pies mixed with foraged greens as a child to tarot cards as an adult. This is an extension of my play with the mysterious, the witchy and the unknown.”
