The mark of the human hand (Timehri) 🖐️ ✨

Aubrey Williams (1926–1990) was a Guyanese-born painter and thinker. Moving to Britain in the early 1950s, Williams forged a language that drew equally on classical music, pre‑Columbian cosmologies, science fiction and ecological thought. Today marks the centenary of the artist’s birth.

Deeply influenced by the stories and symbols of Guyana’s Indigenous peoples, his art resisted easy labels, unfolding instead as a global practice shaped by history, myth and modern consciousness.

Have you ever heard of Fairyland Lustre? 🧚💫

Fairytales come alive in this enchanting series featuring ghosts, goblins, elves and other fantastical figures.

In the post-war years of the 1920s, the whimsical and quirky designs by Daisy Makeig-Jones proved hugely popular as a stark contrast to the turbulence of the era, leading to a resurgence in the Wedgwood ceramics company both financially and artistically.

Though the appeal of Fairyland Lustre waned in the 1930s, this series is still considered to be one of Wedgwood's most extraordinary technical achievements in the ceramic industry.

Visit V&A South Kensington Ceramics, Room 143, The Timothy Sainsbury Gallery, to see Daisy Makeig-Jones's ceramics on display.

Image Description: Ceramic pieces decorated with imagery inspired by Gustave Doré’s “The Legend of Croquemitaine,” featuring dark woods, ghosts, fairies, and mischievous goblins.
