Audio Description for Claire 'Artist Statement' and 'Beacon' Exhibition artworks

Transcript:
Artist Statement Claire. This abstract work is open to interpretation by the viewer. This connects to the theme of beacon in that what offers hope and meaning for one person is different for another. This work was created by dividing a large piece into four segments which represents the artist's experience of feeling a fragmented sense of self. The act of finishing an artwork and also participating in a community program offers this artist hope. Clare has been making art for over 10 years and has a diploma of visual art at CAE. She has a background in etching, painting, and calligraphs. She is now exploring mixed media using drawing, painting, collage, and embroidery. Artwork by Claire. Wanda Sank 2025. Pencil, acrylic, collage, and embroidery on paper 21x 29.7 cm. Against a black wall is a single frame with four small abstract works displayed in a window grid. The frame is a light timber and the works are set against a cold white. The works are on paper with a mix of painting, embroidery, and collage. Each work has a section of blue reminiscent of the sea at bird's eye view with small streaks of white paint and stitching like the white caps of waves. Beige collaged text, random torn sections from books mixed with red brown stitching and pencil fill the rest of the page. Frantic lines and intersecting stitches create a chaotic landscape. Across the blue and beige are deeper blue strokes of paint, at times curved as if flowing and at times angled, cutting across the flow.
