A British multi-disciplinary artist working with photography, installation, poetry and painting, Claire drew inspiration from our six new Wonderlust patterns to create her own world of wonder, a multi-dimensional installation artwork featuring live animals and fantastic florals.
We speak to Claire to find out more about the personality behind this magnificent piece, her creative process, and of course, what her favourite tea is.
Welcome to the (tea) party, Claire Luxton!
This can be a long process that happens in a number of different stages.
Research, sketches and planning, material and animal sourcing, shoot schedule, studio shoot days with botanicals followed by animals, and post-production.
The research and planning stages are possibly the most important. This is where everything abstract becomes a more tangible construct and without this the execution won’t be there. I love sourcing all my materials and shoot scheduling, it’s like a treasure hunt that I find very satisfying.
The Wonderlust shoot was very time sensitive as I’m working with live animals and fresh botanicals, so everything had to run on time. I always leave as much time as possible for post-production, this is like sculpting to me and you need to fine tune the image so it sings.
Redbush has to be my favourite. I’m sadly totally decaf and this is the best! But I miss green tea.
