Clementine Edwards
objects - sculpture - installation - video
Clementine Edwards is a Rotterdam-based artist who works across sculpture, writing, performance and film. Clementine's ongoing research line is material kinship, which thinks material beyond extraction and kinship beyond the biological family. Craft, world-building and intimacy are integral to Clementine's practice, as are the themes of toxic inheritances, climate crisis and climate-grief, and how lived experience, including trauma, narrates meaning-making. It asks, How to honor, remember and enchant the worlds that we are immersed in, and the contexts that shape us, nourish us and resist us? In 2022 Clementine was a Gerrit Rietveld Academy Fellow in the Jewellery—Linking Bodies department and published The Material Kinship Reader, co-edited with Kris Dittel. clementineedwards.com.
