Statement - As artist and designer/maker of textiles. I have always had an affinity with the natural environment which has evolved a calm and tranquil inspiration in my work. I identify with the gifts of nature, choosing only to use plant dyes and natural fibres. My technique and style have developed into a Nuno-felt process. It is the tactile nature of my work which is probably the most important - a reflection of the intimate nature of personal contact with the materials and the exploration of fibres during the making process. The delicate, fragile nature of my work arises from personal experience, "...an awareness and presence of ones own spiritual essence". CV contact - Claire www.clairecawtetextiles.com |
