These sculptures are some of Claire’s first pieces created specifically as part of a collection of works incorporating colour, and exploring the relationship between form and colour. This piece is evocative of an Aztek Relic, comprised of arranged simplistic shapes like those of Primitive Artworks created by ancient civilisations. This piece like the Sun and Moon worshipers of the past was a the result of the artist seeking to create an almost floating suspended sphere a kind to those awe inspiring celestial bodies and a form that surrounded and emphasised its presence in a gravity defying and almost mystical way. Claire specifically chose to explore the connotations of a Klein ultramarine shade of Blue for its visual impact and its velvet like texture, in her Picasso esq blue collection. Blue has been an iconic colour in art history for its quintessential beauty, conveying meaning and feelings. Blue is actually very rare in nature, only a limited amount of flora and fauna contain blue pigment. It’s rarity and affect on the human psyche has been Idolised assumably since our first interactions with the colour and It has observably shaped art history, adorning some of the most iconic and coveted works of art. Science has assisted in the development of colours, expanding upon the traditional creation methods culminating in this artworks super matte, high pigment paint. These ‘Stack’ sculptures, are not only the vessels of colour, but abstract minimalist pieces exploring gravity defying harmonious compositions. Using the surreal properties of Her signature medium, Claire has sculpted works around balance, not only of the gravitational kind, but also the visual weigh of the piece, and crafting sculptures she felt aesthetically pleasing. These new style of structural, geometrical, rectilinear works emerged from the artist during the pandemic. The artist felt that it resonated with her need to express certainty in a time of uncertainty. Using abstract geometric forms as a contrast to her usual distinctive flowing organic biomorphic works. Claire sought to refine her new artworks in objective compositions of truth and certainty, whilst still being shrouded in abstraction.
