New designs are developed from Clare’s studio practice. Selecting different materials to focus on each season, she has built up a collection of objects, images and surfaces to capture in her studio with lights, photography and digital software.

Materials have included; various paper weights, paint, plastic, foil, translucent and heavy weight fabrics.  Clare manipulates these materials through simple processes such as: folding, wrapping, knotting and layering.  With macro photography settings, these ideas are captured and developed digitally into finished designs.

Early ideas from the studio are posted on the C F McEwan Materials Tumblr…
