Clair Case is a multidisciplinary artist whose work spans photography, fiber arts, and alternative printing processes. With a formal Art History and Photography background, Clair began her artistic journey capturing moments through the lens. However, during her time in the Pacific Northwest, her focus shifted from photography to fiber arts, creating hand-sewn and hand-woven works that challenge societal narratives.

 

Her textile-based creations delve into how women are marketed and portrayed in media, incorporating elements such as embroidery hoops, playing cards, and targets. By using sewing and weaving — practices historically associated with women's domestic labor—Clair invites viewers to question their role in engaging with these themes and the expectations imposed on female identity.

 

Cyanotypes keep me connected to photography, servicing as a bridge between my past and present work. Each piece explores nature’s constant evolution, representing not just the botanical differences between the regions she’s lived in but also her artistic growth as she responds to her environment.

​

Clair’s garden series captures this transformation, combining elements of the past and present floral influences. Cyanotypes allow her to physically capture the ephemeral beauty of the world, creating lasting impressions of something momentary.
