Nature Reconstructed
Clare Ross is a Canadian artist whose imaginative artwork has captured audiences and awards near and far. By reconstructing objects including flowers and nests from the natural world, she explores the opposing desires we’ve all often felt – to be fully immersed in nature and its beauty and yet retain the many modern comforts we’ve come to love.
Her work in series includes:
Conversations With Nature
Empty Nest
Forest Food
and coming soon…Babies with Books!
In-Person at Quest in Midland!
EMPTY NESTS
Clare’s current series is Empty Netss. Meeting People Where They Are: Empty Nests is a nature exhibition/experience centered around
bird’s nests. The exhibition brings a combination of original nests, deconstructed nests and reconstructed nests into people’s common spaces in ways that are interactive and thought-provoking.
CONVERSATIONS WITH NATURE
Clare’s previous series takes a close look at natural forms, rebuilding them after they’ve died or fallen apart. She reimagines parts of nature as if there was nothing left and human kind had to rediscover and rebuild beauty. She painstakingly constructs new and pure organic forms and then lights and photographs them in her studio, sometimes incorporating throw-away plastic as well. See seeks to answer the question: “If we destroy nature as we know it, what will we have left?”
