Clewlow is a Teesside-born, Tyneside-based artist. She created a visual language that
reflects an obsessive desire to map out and document her own experiences of the world.
Her work follows a tradition of reductive abstract painting and print making, informed by the
aesthetics of cartographic design but shaped by her love of colour.
In an ongoing series of diaries begun in 2003, she makes rigorous and detailed recordings
of her everyday movements, minute by minute, measuring time and space. This living
archive provides a rich source of data from which Clewlow creates her work. This habitual
process is punctuated by performative journeys Clewlow undertakes, often on foot, to
explore and respond to the geological heritage of particular locations and landscapes.
Clewlow received a First Class BA Hons from Newcastle University in 2007.
