My work is concerned with exploring the book itself as a sculptural object rather than pages and words, to look at a book in the way in which a painter would look at a canvas or a sculptor would look at a lump of clay, as an object, a material.
A large selection of my work can be viewed on my website www.clairekennedy.co.uk, please contact me with any interest in my work.
