Influences
Mary Lane, in fibre Arts Magazine says of her work “Through partial decomposition, or time, her tapestries, with their landscape imagery, become an actual part of the landscape. They embody the cycle of creation and destruction and the hope of rebirth through their conservation”
Clews says “The world as we know it has shifted. It is a new kind of world that we live in. Mankind is creating a very different Earth, whether knowingly or unknowingly. We are unraveling the fabric of the earth and life, as we know it, and making something new, it is that gap that I am interested in, the space between past tradition and the unknown future that is a potentially new landscape to be discovered, invented and made”.
