Claire Prosser (b.1989) is an artist based in South Wales, UK. Her working methods stem from a background in performance which planted a seed of interest for materials, space and action. Her work more recently engages with assemblage, painting and installation.
A belief in animism leads Claire to find personality and living qualities in inanimate objects. She enjoys making work that mirrors the intricacies found in everyday life such as traces of touch, action and gesture. In her practice, Claire demonstrates an interest in shape and form of objects and our built environment; materiality and ideas around thing-ness and object-hood; along with thoughts on the energy and interconnectedness held between objects, humans and all matter. Claire's preoccupation with in performative rhythms of life, have driven her to create works that have a 'prop' like aesthetic, setting out works that might move or change over a period of time or that give off a sense of being in-progress.
