Clare Twomey

Clare Twomey is a British artist, researcher and curator (b 1968). Twomey is a leading figure in the applied arts; she is an advocate for craft as commensurable to the wider visual arts. Her practice can be understood as ‘post-studio ceramics’, as her work engages with clay yet often at a critical distance. Twomey’s work negotiates the realms of performance, serial production and transience, and often involves site-specific installations. She is especially concerned with the affective relations that bind people and things, and how objects can enable a dialogue with the viewer. Clay is her ideal medium as it embodies notions of permanence and inheritance, and has a profound connection with the everyday. Over the past 10 years she has exhibited at the Victoria and Albert Museum, Tate, Crafts Council, Museum of Modern Art Kyoto, Japan, Eden Project, Royal Academy of Arts and Gardiner Museum, Toronto.
