The Will to Proceed to the End of the Possible

Kneebone, Rachel

We’re working on releasing this image.

Sculpture, soft-paste porcelain with clear glaze, comprises a heavily cracked monumental rectangular plinth surmounted by a writhing mass of modelled and collaged organic forms that are both identifiable (human limbs) and ambiguous fragments that resemble folded pieces of skin, flowers and tendrils, bones and sinews, and other natural forms; covered over much of the surface with a clear glaze, with unglazed surfaces also apparent.


We have a duty of care to all our audiences. This website draws on legacy collections data. We recognise that some of this information may be outdated or discriminatory and we're currently working to review our records. If you have any questions or comments on an artwork, please contact us.
