Scott Chaseling is a cross-medium sculptor, who for two decades has centred his practice around notions of mobility, transition and liminality – that idea of non-place. Much of this interest comes from having lived in Berlin, France, Japan and America. While Chaseling’s earlier work recorded this personal narrative of trans-location through reverse paintings onto glass panels, which were later rolled into cylinder vessels, his recent work has taken on a lively exploration into forms referencing movement. With a strong understanding of the materials history Chaseling mixes ancient techniques and subverting them into a contemporary practice with touches of Memphis Design and American West Coast ceramics.

This idea of the transient studio has allowed for new technologies and vocabularies to enter Scott’s making, constantly rethinking material use and impact. This development in the work has been documented across a number of international magazines and exhibitions, including the Pergamon Museum (Berlin, Germany); Eisch Gallery, (Frauenau, Germany, 2012), Musee Atelier du Verre, (Sars-Poteries, France), and the major solo exhibition LACUNA at the European Museum of Modern Glass, (Coburg, Germany, 2010). Most recently Scott’s new series was part of the Loewe Craft Prize in the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum, Madrid (2025).
