Description
Claire Newman-Williams is a multidisciplinary artist who works both an abstract painter and a photographic artist. All of her work is a celebration of the inherent beauty found in the layers of existence, a testament to the richness of history and the endless possibilities of the present moment.
In her photographic work she uses digital technology to layer together images created with old cameras and processes, images that appear to have been pulled from the no-mans land that exists between imagination and reality. In her abstract painting, inspired by the wealth of history in her 14th century home, she uses paint with mixed media (be it old paper, cloth, wood ash or charcoal) to explore the interplay of colour, texture and form.
Its the aim to capture moments that evoke a sense of nostalgia and mystery, prompting viewers to question the origins and context of each image. Whether it’s a haunting portrait or a scene reminiscent of a bygone era, my compositions invite contemplation on the fluidity of time and the interconnectedness of human experiences.
