Lindsey Lou Howard

Lindsey Lou Howard explores the visual and cultural language of food, using sculptural forms to examine its connection with themes of desire and guilt in contemporary life. Influenced by culinary histories and the culture of excess, Howard constructs objects that feel both familiar and unsettling, satirising consumerism while simultaneously critiquing deeper questions of value, psychology, and sustainability. Her works navigate a tension between humour and unease, inviting viewers to confront the contradictions of comfort, guilt, and longing embedded in everyday eating practices. Through careful attention to materiality and cultural reference, Howard’s ceramics create spaces where pleasure and excess coexist, reflecting on the human impulses that shape the industrial food complex.

Howard was born in 1997 in Dallas, Texas. She received her BA in Art History from the University of Northern Colorado, specialising in Ceramics and Chemistry. Her work has been exhibited internationally, including at Lamb Gallery, London (2025); Stroll Garden, New York (2024); Christie’s Gallery, London (2024); and Museum Stadtpalais, Stuttgart (2023). Howard has also presented solo exhibitions with Benda, Los Angeles (2023), and Launch F18, New York (2022). Howard currently lives and works in New York.
