Claire B. Cotts

Claire B. Cotts

“I love collecting things that carry history. 
Old letters, buttons, texts, stamps, bits and scraps of fabric all find their way into my collages. What interests me, I think, is the history each separate part brings to the whole, the surprising juxtapositions.

In my abstract paintings, there is a pull and tug between forces:
disorder and entropy countered by balance and structure —
a tangle and chaos of vines intermixed with off kilter, tenuously balanced
blocks and small hopeful symbols of structure: a seed pod, a bud, a branch.

I hope they convey the feeling I have when I make them — the feeling a child
has while stacking up books and blocks and toys into a tower: the nervous
breath-held happiness of precarious swaying balance.

In addition to my abstract and collage work, I am a narrative figurative
painter and children's book illustrator.”
