Clare Dudeney’s various practices, with a focus on movement, transformation, and interconnection - explore the ever-changing nature of life : how we are shaped by our relationships, environments, and unseen connections, dissolving rigid boundaries and revealing a world in flux.
Through abstract woven terrains, ceramic weavings, and large-scale fabric collages, Dudeney captures the ebb and flow of thoughts, memories, and emotions. Drawing from her past observations of nature, particularly rock formations, where micro topographies can appear vast – she transforms these shifting landscapes into tactile form.
Dudeney transforms her weaving practice into ceramic sculptures. These intricate pieces create magnified swatches, featuring looping, entwined threads and delicately trailing colour-glazed strands. The hard surfaces hold traces of past soft gestures.The works invite close attention, edges blur and light glows through. Soft, subtle hues and delicate mark-making create organic forms that emerge and dissolve, networks woven together.
In Dudeney’s work repetition and variation reveal an ongoing process, each piece a fragment of a larger exploration. There is an intimacy in their making, a dialogue between control and freedom. In this space of openness and entanglement, meaning is shaped by connection, experience and perception.
