ARTIST
ABOUT CLAIRE
My work is an exploration of the liminal space between reality and imagination, where the boundaries blur and the unexpected thrives.
As a British photographic artist, I draw from my background in both English literature and two decades of editorial and portrait photography in the UK and the US to craft images that traverse the realms of the tangible and the ethereal.
Through a blend of mixed media collage and traditional photography techniques, I aim to capture moments that evoke a sense of nostalgia and mystery, prompting viewers to question the origins and context of each image. Whether it's a haunting portrait or a scene reminiscent of a bygone era, my compositions invite contemplation on the fluidity of time and the interconnectedness of human experiences.
Exhibiting at prestigious venues such as the London Art Fair and Miami Context has provided me with a platform to share these visual narratives with a wider audience and further validates my commitment to exploring the intersection of reality and imagination in my artistic practice.
In each piece, I endeavor to transport viewers to a place where the familiar meets the unknown, inviting them to ponder the mysteries that lie within the no-man's land of our collective consciousness. Through my art, I seek to spark curiosity, evoke emotion, and ultimately, foster a deeper connection to the enigmatic beauty of the world around us.
