Clare Belfrage has maintained a vibrant practice for over 25 years. Inspired by experiences of detail in nature, her work has been distinguished by the use of fine glass threads to draw complex linear patterns on the surface of blown glass forms.
With this series of work she has moved towards the qualities and rhythm of woven and sewn lines while still working with references to nature such as plant and insect life, water and sand. She has worked with pattern and rhythm expressive of life and growth and the passing of time, the weave of a fabric and the qualities of drawing.
