Isabel Coats Vergara (b. London, England, 2003) is a ceramicist based at Kindred Studios in London. Through the medium of ceramic sculpture, her practice explores the relationships between human and animal bodies, the natural environment, and the experiences that entwine the two. Her sculptures fuse elements of living bodies with organic textures and structures such that the final work appears both alien and familiar, never quite settling into something fully recognisable. She endeavours to foster connection between people and to deepen our care for and capacity to connect with non-human living beings. Each ceramic work becomes a living, breathing point of connection, woven from the threads that make up her world, the worlds of each viewer, and the natural world that we exist within.
