My mother Clare Bix (or Clare Motte) received a first class honours in fine art last year. This is her own statement about her work.
What do the objects we choose to surround ourselves with say about us? Our possessions, like words in a sentence or actors on a stage, convey messages about who we are, what we like and our relationships with other people.
An object that speaks so loudly about us is an important medium in my work. I re-present these objects so we can examine how we feel about our own possessions and what important messages they convey to other.

‘Going Nowhere’ is a whimsical piece. It was inspired by the sorting out, we have of our possessions. How by rejecting certain objects we place more importance on the ones we choose to keep. These are the survivors!
