Marie Canning
Ceramic Artist working from Hebden Bridge, West Yorkshire.
Marie Canning creates delicate porcelain dioramas that emphasise our deep connection with nature and animals, portraying their beauty, individuality, and spirit in a playful, gentle way, while inviting us to see them as beings deserving of respect and compassion. Marie’s work, infused with wonder and magic, encourages a rediscovery of childlike curiosity and joy, offering a safe space to reflect on the crucial issue of animal rights.
Bridging animal rights, feminism and ceramic art, she offers women an opportunity to reconnect with nature and animals. Women have been historically linked to nature and its cycles, as caregivers to animals and as spiritual stewards of the earth. Throughout history they have been forced to loose this connection due to the forces that sought to control their roles. Connecting with animals helps to restore this ancient bond, reminding women that they are an integral part of the natural world, not separate from it. Reclaiming this bond is essential for healing both women and the planet.
