Kendall Clarke
Kendall is an artist and maker who works with textiles and natural dyes. Her background in languages led to an interest in ancient texts and the fragmented nature of their survival. This is reflected in her translucent constructions from paper and metal yarns, in the abrasions of her etched surfaces, and in her particular interest in paper and ink. She uses painting and mark-making as well as erasure to produce multi-layered works in two and three dimensions.
Kendall is QEST’s Sanderson Design Group Scholar – Woven & Constructed Textiles. Her work is influenced by the simple beauty of Japanese crafts, and her scholarship will enables her to learn the traditional Japanese craft of paper spinning and shifu weaving from renowned expert Hiroko Karuno, alongside a four-week residency in an artisanal paper-making region of Japan.
