Clare’s work is primarily abstract with a nod to landscape and interiors. Lately she has also been working with more directly figurative imagery, with particular reference to classical and antique profile heads. All works are collage, acrylic emusion on paper
‘My pictures are perhaps not collages in the conventional sense. I think of them also as paintings. The materials are not found. I paint pattern and texture on to sheets of paper, which I then cut and tear to create the images that make up my seascapes, landscapes, still lifes and classical heads. Colour and pattern, often directly inspired by my experience of landscape, are very important to me.’
