Felicity Clear

Felicity Clear’s practice involves the intersection of line, light and perception.
Drawing in a variety of mediums and in various scales is at the core, from small two-dimensional works on paper to large sculptural installations and hand drawn animation.
​The provisional nature of drawing and its other technical role in engineering, architecture and everyday life are central reference points. Perspective is often skewed and three-dimensional elements cast shadows which present visual conundrums.  Through these allusions to infrastructure, her meticulous and intricate constructions become highly effective metaphors for the systems that are ubiquitous in everyday life’.
