**Joseph Gabriel **(b. 1989, Manila; lives and works in London) is an artist working across drawing, sculpture and installation. His works examine notions of land, origin, memory and sense of place. He explores a visual language that seeks to articulate the vestigial and transformative qualities of ceramics—one which lends itself as a tactile material and the other, as intermediary to the intangible. His body of work inspects the point of tangency between transitional states, the fragmentary and the residual as emblematic responses to our world in constant flux.
