My Story
Under the brand name boue, Jacqueline Bosscher creates functional pieces for everyday use as well as sculptural works through conceptual and material explorations. Powered by solar energy and fed by rainwater, her alpine studio is a place to play with form, function and ideas.
During MOST 2026, visitors to Jacqueline’s studio will be able to view her new collection of hand-built vessels painted with alpine sky cloudscapes; sculptural portraits of people with a bilingual or trilingual background in the form of modern totems; her signature line of homewares for The Strawbale House ; and her characteristic hand-built bowls in saturated colours. strawbalehouse.au
Her work to date has included ceramic ware for everyday use – bowls, plates, vases – as well as more experimental work, including visceral pink frames for holding memories; giant candle-holders; a collection of hand-built ceramic funeral urns; and colourful vessels with relief designs of coral found in the Great Barrier Reef to highlight coral bleaching and the fetishization of white (dead) coral. Next, she will be developing glazes from used glass, brick, wood ash, and other natural or waste materials.
Jacqueline’s studio is a place of material experimentation and includes a small kiln, benches for hand building ceramics / sculpture, storage for different waste and natural materials, found objects and lighting components collected over many years. Her brand boue is an umbrella for making ceramic ware, sculpture and lighting, plus custom furniture commissions. boue.au
Jacqueline has worked across arts and design disciplines for 30 years, from starting her curatorial practice in multi-arts centres in Sydney, to her own interior design practice focused on sustainability. She is now a practicing artist, occasional designer and curator of the MOST artists exhibitions.
