Multi-disciplinary artist Anzara Clark, combines traditional craft and contemporary experimental approaches in her studio practice, exploring and stretching the limits and intersections of paper manipulation and textile processes. Her work is tactile, textural, dimensional, and poetic. Concept and process reflect each other in works that become narrative bodies for creative enquiry into the tensions between fragility and resilience, questions of value and sustainability, identity, ephemerality, and the human condition. A deep interest in material culture and a background in fashion inform an enduring fascination with the personal and social meanings of garments and textiles. Anzara finds endless inspiration in discarded and damaged materials, reimagining the use of paper materials, and subverting texts.
