Claire Brewster‘s work is about retrieving the discarded, celebrating the unwanted and giving new life to the obsolete. She uses old and out of date maps and atlases as her fabric with which to create her intricate, delicate and detailed cut outs of birds, insects and flowers. The cut-outs are pinned either directly on to the wall as a large scale installation or captured in box frames. The shadows created when light is shined on them gives them a 3 dimensional quality and creates a feeling of movement.
