Claire Paterson
Claire Paterson graduated from the Glasgow School of Art 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.
Her first solo show, Unsign, was held at the Glasgow Royal Concert Hall in 2008. In 2009, she was enabled to fund a trip around California, New Mexico, Mexico, Arizona and Texas, doing research into the symbolism and iconography of various religious groups. Other notable exhibitions include the group show Gradients and Thresholds, Contemporary Perspectives on the Figure, which was held at the Royal Institute of the Fine Arts Kelly Gallery, Glasgow.
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. The work produced as a result of this project was exhibited at the Glasgow School of Art in 2019.
