claire underwood

Claire works in silver and opaque enamels.  She is concerned with colour, surface texture and positive and negative spaces. 
By creating small areas of colour within a piece, Claire aims to give the enamel a more precious quality.

Her limited palette is inspired by the colours of a Russian winter, and the use of simple geometric shapes a reflection of the harsh architectural landscape of the former Soviet Union.
