AX 2023 National Emerging Ceramic Artists Exhibition
AX Arts & Cultural Centre of Sussex
Sussex, New Brunswick
December 8, 2023 to February 24, 2024
The jury selected my sculpture, Standing Figure Nude, for this inaugural group exhibition of emerging ceramic artists from across Canada.
Jurors: Joan Bruneau, Magdolene Dykstra, John Leroux, Noriko Masuda, Peter Powning

Standing Figure Nude by Ellen Scobie
“This portrayal of a nude figure is not a celebration of some romantic (or commercially) idealized notion of what the female form should look like but a bold portrayal of a body that has experienced the woes and joys of a life lived. … Ellen Scobie’s direct, tactile approach to this figurative sculpture, along with its rich surface finish, successfully draws us into an encounter that asks us to imagine this figure’s life.”

Fraser Valley Biennial 2023
PRESENTED AT
The Reach Gallery Museum Abbotsford
January 27 to May 6, 2023
My sculpture, Figure with Box Torso, was included in this biennial exhibition of 22 artists from the Fraser Valley.
Curated by Candace Couse
FROM THE CURATOR:
“The body is taught, and it teaches. The body transforms environments through labour. It is the slate on which scripts are written, and here the body keeps both secrets and score. It is porous, leaky, boundaryless, and thus not fully controllable by historical or dominant understandings. The body, in this context, opens as a site of meaning where it is understood as product and producer of biological or social limitations and constructs. In short, the body becomes a place for experimentation as it holds multiple and contradictory representations rich for exploration.”
