Claire Chinnery
As a contemporary artist, my practice has a broad base both physically and conceptually and is not fixed in terms of media. However, my training and background are more closely aligned with sculpture than other forms. My fascination stems from an interest in materiality, and in the relationships between objects and spaces, thinking and making, materials and environments and between the head and the hand. In many works, I have engaged with conventions of museology, and taxonomy, often studying animal subjects to explore human behaviours relative to colonial history and identity. My work has also explored issues of otherness relative to maternal and more broadly, familial experience. I combine my research interests, through engagement with trans-disciplinary issues and practices, producing artworks in varied media. My works are both rigorously researched and painstakingly produced. They often involve the need to learn new and diverse skills and I relish the opportunity afforded by this approach.
