Clare Plug is one of New Zealand’s leading applied artists. She approaches her quilts in a way that responds to the world of contemporary art, rather than to traditional quilting or embroidery.
In 2006 Clare’s innovations were recognised through the award of an important residency – the Antarctica New Zealand / Creative New Zealand Artists in Antarctica programme. This saw Clare travel to Antarctica, returning to New Zealand to create new work engaged with the experience.
Clare has described Antarctica as ‘a time capsule, an ark and an early warning station’, themes which find resonance amid the typically dark, sombre and poetic handling of surface and texture in her works. Look South is Clare’s response to Antarctica, presenting a series of around 15 quilts which tease out the different relationships between human culture and this continent.
Look South has been supported by Antarctica New Zealand, Creative New Zealand and the Mary Vigor Brown Trust.
