Through her practice, visual artist Claire Bear reimagines places associated with comfort, belonging, and safety.

Currently, her work consists of soft sculptures inspired by domestic spaces, constructed from blanket designs and familiar household materials that are synonymous with warmth, protection, and comfort.

Alongside these works, Claire explores painting, printmaking, and drawing, furthering her investigation into the meaning of play and why it matters.

Many of Claire's works invite participation, encouraging visitors to step inside, sit, and touch the artworks. Through this physical engagement, her works become spaces that people can physically immerse themselves in.
