Born in 1972, British artist, lives and works in London

Clare Woods

“Some of the images are full of foreboding, the encroachment of nature on a human being entering the corridors of ancient rock which threaten to engulf and even devour. Others are imbued with playful pinks and aquas, suggestive not just of seething ecology but of complete worlds encased secretly by the granite.”

“I spent a lot of time trying to work out how all the source material linked up and fitted together, but eventually I realised that it doesn’t at all. It’s quite disparate. ”

Clare Woods

“I wanted some of the pieces to have a collaged feel and create a world within the landscape. I also wanted the pieces to work with the landscape of the gallery.”

Woods has a strong sense of both working within a pastoral tradition in British art, but of also trying to extend boundaries in how responses to the landscape are expressed.
