Artist Statement:

Claire Newman-Williams is a photographic artist who creates images that appear to have been pulled from the no-man's land that exists between imagination and reality. These images, often described as “filmic” and “haunting”, leave us wondering which world they inhabit. Are they created in our contemporary world, or are they visual echoes plucked from another era? Like patchworks of the past, Claire’s photographs, faded and distressed, are often layered with poetic text to create the impression that each work is the sewing together of a forgotten memory.
