Simone Schofield is a Cheshire-based artist whose work journeys through the arc of grief and its quiet alchemy. Her practice begins in the raw weight of loss, the physical and emotional echoes that grief leaves on the body and mind, moving towards a quieter state when pain is reshaped into acceptance and eventual peaceful memories. Over time, these memories shift, softening, becoming talismans of joy and connection to those who came before. Schofield’s sculptures speak to how past generations continue to shape the present, their influence unseen but ever-anchoring.

 

Working with natural materials: raw coal, costal driftwood, ceramic and glass, Schofield brings together a muted, elemental palette. Each work emerges as an alchemical fusion: dense and fragile, grounded and ethereal. The pieces carry the resonance of material history, as though drawn from earth and water, and hold within them the layered narrative of grief’s passage into beauty.
