The sculptural ceramics of Halima Cassell bring together different strands of Islamic art, carved in deep relief
In this six page profile, Emmanuel Cooper looks into the origins of Halima Cassell’s ceramics, which claim as parents the same ancient influences of mathematics, architecture and astronomy as Islamic art. Strong geometric patterns dominate the forms of her deeply carved bowls and semi-spheres, uniting space and abstract motifs that can be seen to symbolise the logic and order inherent in the Islamic vision of the universe. Having been raised and educated in the north of England, Halima’s ceramics emphasise a connection to the cultural legacy of Pakistan, the country of her birth. This article includes a making sequence and technical notes on designing structures.
