Claire Barclay

Claire Barclay (born 1968) is a Scottish artist. Her artistic practice uses a number of traditional mediums that include installation, sculpture and printmaking, but it also expands to encapsulate a diverse array of craft techniques. Central to her practice is a sustained exploration of materials and space.

While there is always a concept behind the work its actual form comes out of the 'play' with materials and my response to them.

Barclay is a participant in the Art360 Scotland programme (2019-2023), supported by Creative Scotland. The programme awarded 11 places to Scotland-based artists and estates on Art360’s archiving programme.
