On the series FREE BIG JOY:
The political landscape of female form occupies a terrain between joy and pain — poles of emotion through which life is known. The meeting in the middle of my body and yours. The fight and fancy of universal truth.
I film my own body as it transitions between glory/demise/glory. I project slow films on to large bedsheets, kneeling on the floor to draw the failings and triumphs of her. Less me, now more you.
These paintings are lyrical rituals. Primitive dances of balance and rhythm precariously balanced on a ledge of youth.
Joy, Joy, I am so Joyful.
After completing a four year degree in Fine Art at Leeds university, Clare took up a teaching position in central London and began an MA in Artist Teachers and Contemporary Practices at Goldsmiths. She has recently returned to painting.
