In The Window for May 2026 is Amandine N'Doye

Amandine has been selected for this spotlight exhibition from a range of makers who exhibited at Manchester Metropolitan University Graduate show, 2025.

Her collection Home Vessels is a ceramic collection that explores the artist’s personal journey of finding home across two cities.

Comprising 30 vessels, the work captures the emotional and physical transitions experienced while settling into new environments. Each vessel, crafted from marbled, coloured clay, reflects the distinct characteristics of Brighton and Manchester, embodying the duality of identity and a shifting sense of belonging. More than functional objects, these vessels serve as physical manifestations ofmemory, emotion, and landscape.

The collection invites reflection on the meaning of home and theinfluence of place on personal identity. Through varied forms,colour, and texture, the vessels convey warmth, complexity, and connection, encouraging interaction and fostering intimacy andpersonal engagement
