At first glance these objects look like they are in motion, almost like every object is falling down, especially the “strawberry blanket”. In reality they are actually natural materials, like feathers, fruits and flowers, attached to nylon threads. Sculptor Claire Morgan from Belfast is the creator of this magnificent art work. She has among other things achieved a first class degree in Sculpture from Northumbria University.

Since graduating she has pursued a career solely as a visual artist. She has exhibited internationally, with solo shows, residencies and commissions across the UK, as well as group exhibitions in Europe. At an early stage she developed a strong interest in the organic, in natural processes, and in the bodily connotations of natural materials. This formed the basis for her practice as an artist creating sculptural installations and continues to influence her work at present.

Robert has skeletons hanging in the studio for over a decade until he found an idea to arrange the bone into the artwork. Robert stayed for many hours to sort these unique shapes are then photographed. Each image is both a symbol of war and violence like guns, tanks, skulls …

“I want people to find that the bone is all that remains after the violence. And what is left after counting the war dead, “Robert said.
