Was there one work that became the emotional centre of What We Carry?

In this clip, Freda and Lauren talk about the piece that ended up holding a lot of the exhibition together, and why it became important to both of us in different ways.

Before ‘What We Carry’ became a series of sculptures, it started with research, references and questions Freda was working through.

In the first clip from our conversation with Tireni (@tirzni) Freda talks about some of those starting points and how they developed into the work. by @iitsfreda

I will be showing/ selling this piece @thegraduateartshow at Art Movement Gallery
163A St John’s Hill, London SW11 1TQ, taking place from June 24 to July 11, 2026.

Earthbound Thought is a piece created through
experimentation with movement, exploring how clay
and metal can be pushed to work together
harmoniously. I made the work during a period of
uncertainty about myself and the direction of my
practice. This sense of instability is reflected in the
figure, which is composed of multiple heads connected
only by wire, linked together like chains. The suspended
and fragmented structure suggests feelings of emotional weight, internal conflict, and the struggle between connection and restraint. By combining the fragility of clay with the strength and tension of metal, I wanted to create a piece that feels both delicate and uneasy, capturing a moment of transition within my practice and personal mindset. by @iitsfreda

Each commission with Freda Osayuki Igiogbe begins with a conversation.

From there, the sculptures develop gradually through sketching, material exploration and Freda’s own sculptural process using Vulcan clay.

A limited number of commissions are currently available.

If you’re interested about commissions, get in touch.

Lofty Spot EDITION II: What We Carry
1–3 May, 65A Charlotte Street

We’re pleased to present work by sculptor Freda Osayuki Igiogbe (@iitsfreda) Working primarily with clay, her practice explores memory, belief and inherited experience, shaped through a slow and iterative process.

The exhibition will run for three days over the bank holiday weekend, with a limited number of artist-led commissions available.

I feel incredibly blessed to be able to constantly show this body of work in different ways. During my final year, I remember mentioning to my tutors that I want to show the works for as many times as I can and just talk to people about my work and what inspires my practice.

What We Carry explores themes of duality, how experience transforms us, while the rituals we return to each day steady and define us. In these repeated gestures, a quiet balance emerges, between change and continuity, becoming and being.

The works in the exhibition explores my journey with spirituality, fear, and memory, through clay. The sculptures are extremely personal and intentionally made to appear as though they existed long before me, echoing the timeless nature of the story they tell.

Thank you so much to those who came to the show to celebrate but also have a conversation with me! I’ve met some more incredibly beautiful & intelligent people and I forever feel grateful for the conversations we had!

Also thankful for @lofty.spot for believing in me and prioritising me as an artist 💐💐 This is just the beginning 🥂

I am opening myself up for commissions for this show with a limited edition of six pieces, ranging in scale with prices starting from £750. If you’re interested please contact @lofty.spot by @iitsfreda
