Claire Gilliam

Gilliam currently resides in Warwick, NY. In this Ink on Paper Series started in 2020, Claire continues her exploration of Visual Language and the possibilities of the human body. She uses the Latin Alphabet in an increasingly abstract approach through repetition, distortion, and rendition as a way of learning to draw with her non-dominant and semi-paralyzed right hand. This fascination with the physical body experiments stem from her experience of having lived her whole life within a disabled body and learning to live with her own set of limitations and peculiarities.
