CLAIRE PATERSON

Claire Paterson graduated from the Glasgow School of Art Painting and Printmaking department in 2008, winning the inaugural Steven Campbell Hunt Medal for Poetic Creativity, the School of Fine Art Dissertation Prize, and the British Airways Travel Bursary.
 
Paterson’s most recent body of work, The Arbitrary Ritual, was inspired by collaborations she undertook while on the 2016-17 Steven Campbell New York Scholarship, which was funded by Creative Scotland, The Saltire Society and The Steven Campbell Trust.

Paterson’s 3 month residency at the International Studio and Curatorial Programme (ISCP) in Brooklyn provided her with an exciting opportunity to work with other artists from around the world, exploring ideas related to the theatrical language embedded in totems and gestures.

The work produced as a result of this project is being exhibited at the Glasgow School of Art’s Reid Building in 2019.
