Alma Berrow

Alma Berrow bends the mundane toward the uncanny: half-eaten oysters, scattered tarot cards, and cigarette stubs re-emerge as meticulously hand-molded ceramics, arranged like clues in a séance of memory. Working in a register of playful surrealism, she builds sets that braid personal recollection with shared ritual, turning childhood mudpies and late-night divinations into “fake-real” objects that hover between joke and reliquary. In these tableaux’s, humour becomes a portal to the witchy and the unknown; nostalgia, a device for summoning what still hums beneath everyday surfaces. Berrow has presented solo exhibitions with Megan Mulrooney, Los Angeles, LAMB Gallery, London), and Galeria Hilario Galguera, Mexico City.
