MODERN PROMETHEUS
Studio Skellett
For us, sculpture has always been about storytelling. Growing up as brothers, we spent countless hours exploring what it means to be human - its beauty, frailty, grace, pain, and power. Those conversations, often unspoken but understood, now live in the work we create. Every sculpture we make carries a piece of that exploration, a reflection of the human condition that we’re still trying to grasp ourselves.
We are always pushing each other forward. There’s something unspoken in how we create—an ebb and flow that allows our ideas to merge and diverge, shaping pieces that feel deeply personal yet somehow universal. Our figures don’t aim to be perfect or polished; instead, they embrace the cracks, the imperfections, the moments of strength or vulnerability that make us who we are.
We don’t often talk about our process or explain our work in detail. It’s not that we want to be mysterious; it’s just that words rarely feel enough. The clay says things we can’t. The connection people feel to our pieces means everything to us, though. If someone sees themselves—or someone they love—in our work, then we feel we’ve done something worthwhile.
Being considered "up and coming" is a little daunting, to be honest. We’re just focused on staying true to the work and letting it grow. Bringing our sculptures to a ceramics fair is exciting because these are spaces for discovery, connection, and inspiration. We’d love to share our work with people who might resonate with it and be part of a wider conversation about what ceramic art can be.
It would mean a lot to us if we could be part of that. We think our sculptures could bring something different to the show—something honest and human—and that keeps us moving forward daily.

The raw nature of Paul and Jasons work brings drama and personality to any space, a visual statement that will most defiantly promote discussion.
‘Art is the cultural fingerprint that defines us, an object in a space unique only to you. It’s not unlike an individual’s use of words. A persons vocabulary sculpts out an ‘image’ in the listeners mind, revealing a layer of their true personality and aspirations. Sight and sound are emotional frequencies unique to your own sense of being.’
