Claire Sherwood’s tactile sculptures investigate the abilities and constraints of materials in reference to the physical world. Using a wide variety of non-traditional sculptural building supplies sherwood casts, carves, slathers and pushes her materials into a new state of being. The sculptures, when complete, resemble rock, bone or other natural organic forms referencing unearthed artifacts or strange collections or studies. Sherwood’s interest in the intersection of the domestic home, the natural landscape and broad philosophical theories feed her studio practice.
