A certain nostalgia plays a part in the story. Anthem is a telling title. If you look it in the eye, you might think the black tears were meant for us and the tragedy of our time. The figure is a hybrid messenger - simultaneously from the past and the future - whose tears hold up a mirror to us. Anthem, who sings a hymn to what once was. Perhaps it is itself the bearer of nostalgia for what once was, and regret where humanity is heading.

About the artist: Tucker’s shape- and genre-shifting sculptures and reliefs explore the intersection of ceramic tradition, cultural symbolism and the emotional intensity of contemporary cultural anxiety. Drawing from diverse sources like fossils, armour, and ritual artifacts, her anachronistic works use repetition and transformation to evoke a sense of enchantment and ambiguity. Themes of femininity, fetish culture, and the surreal challenge conventional interpretations, creating a powerful and immersive visual language.

Her work has been featured in The Quarry, Galerie Fabian Lang, Zurich, CH in 2025 (solo show), Umbra, Steve Turner, Los Angeles, USA in 2024 (solo show), Buried, OHSH Projects, London, UK (group show) in 2024, Ares, The Pavilion, Cromwell Place, London, UK in 2023 (group show) and Arca, Five Years Archway, London, UK in 2023 (solo show).

She was recently awarded with the Creative Scotland Individual Fund in 2025, was part of the Sanctuary Slimane residency in Marrakesh, MA, the GIRLPOWER residency in Aquitaine, FR in 2023 and gained the Hope Scott Trust, a visual artist Grant in 2022, as well as the VACMA bursary, from the city of Glasgow, UK.
