Aimee Brown

Aimee Brown is a mixed media sculptor in the final year of her Fine Art degree at Swansea College of Art. Her practice takes the flower as its subject — not as a symbol of beauty, but as a form that holds time, transition, and loss.

Working across metal, ceramic, wood, and found materials, she examines what remains when something living passes: the impression in clay, the husk of a dried petal, the permanent record left by an impermanent thing. Her work asks viewers to contemplate personal experiences of loss and memory through the lens of natural form and decay.

In Memoriam, her Elysium Sculpture Prize–winning body of work, presses wildflowers into clay tiles and suspends cut flowers in the act of drying — capturing the passage from living to deceased. Flower Forest, a series of large-scale steel sculptures, works in the opposite register: permanent forms made from impermanent subjects.

Brown's work has been shown within the Multocular group exhibition at Swansea College of Art. In 2026 she was awarded the Elysium Sculpture Prize, which brings with it gallery space and an exhibition at Elysium Gallery, Swansea — an opportunity she describes as a profound honour, and one she looks forward to building on in the years ahead.
