Additional Information

Hand-crafted by artist Christine Binnie, this Mummy small cup sees an English folk monument reimagined, carved into the slip and glaze of the pot using sgraffito techniques.

Created to celebrate the opening of Women in Revolt! Art, Activism and the Women’s movement in the UK 1970 –1990 at Tate Britain, Neo Naturist Binnie explains her design inspiration here:

‘I was bought up on the South Downs near the androgynous looking Long ‘Man’ of Wilmington. I’ve rectified the patriarchal bias of this name and changed her to Mother Earth. Calling her Mummy!’

A great gift for feminist hill figure enthusiasts, or fans of Christine Binnie’s iconic pottery, each piece is unique. Hand-thrown, variations in size and design placement will occur, but the photograph above gives a good indication of what your small cup will look like.

To look after your ceramic cup, wipe clean only and definitely don’t put it in a dishwasher.

About the artist

Christine Binnie is a ceramicist and performance artist, best known for her activity as a founding member of the Neo Naturists group. Together with Jennifer Binnie and Wilma Johnson, Christine Binnie formed the collective in London in 1981, and created performances and appearances using body painting, found objects, art works and domestic items to create colourful subversive performance pieces staged in nightclubs and galleries. The group still perform together occasionally, and Binnie’s ceramic works explore many of the same themes as the Neo Naturists’ performances, challenging current social and political narratives.
