Undulating with organic, repeated pattern, in ’Nuages’ Halima Cassell creates a sculpture that is both natural and formal, exemplifying her instinctive carving process. Whether working in bronze, clay, marble, concrete, or glass, Cassell embraces the unique qualities her chosen material brings to her work’s sublime geometry - the fluidity of smooth bronze, or the rugged texture of the unglazed terracotta in ‘Nuages’.

Born in Pakistan, brought up in Lancashire and now living in Shropshire, Halima Cassell’s broad, multi-cultural background is tangibly present in her work. Her natural creativity presented itself at an early age and was nurtured to fruition as Cassell carved her way through an art-based education: an undergraduate degree in 1997 and an MA in 2002. The culmination of this process is Cassell’s precociously mature work. In a perfect marriage of her Asian roots to her fascination for African pattern work and her deep passion for architectural geometry, Cassell’s work is intense yet playful, structured yet creative; substantial and dynamic and invariably compelling in its originality. Combining strong geometric elements with recurrent patterns and architectural principles, Cassell’s work utilises definite lines and dramatic angles in an attempt to manifest the universal language of numbers and create an unsettling sense of movement.
 
In 2021 Cassell was appointed Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in the Queen’s 2021 New Year Honours list, for her services to art. Her work is held in various national and international collections, including the Victoria and Albert Museum, the Hepworth Wakefield and Birmingham Art Gallery.
