In Ordinary Girl, a porcelain t-shirt adorned with wings hangs in the air, tilted at an angle, flying upwards with wings on its back. The piece is ceramicist Sue Goldschmidt's response to the Ipswich murders, in which media coverage, friends and family expressing shock, referred to the victims as just ‘ordinary girls.’ The work encompasses a number of opposites: it is made of a heavy porcelain, yet seems to float. It is wrinkled and looks flexible, but has been fired and so is more restrictive than a corset. The piece is part of a body of works in which the artist meditates on loss and death. This work was included in the exhibition 'Schmatte Couture' curated for Ben Uri by artist Sarah Lightman at the Rivington Gallery in London's East End in 2008.
