Clare Nattress is an interdisciplinary artist and educator working in the UK. She is currently undertaking a practice-based PhD at Leeds Beckett University. Her works often encompass data art, performance, photography, digital practices and installation underpinned with conceptual rigour. Working within the intersection of art and science, the artist considers collaborations with scientists and other researchers to be a key element in her work. In 2018 Clare sold all of her possessions and cycled in parts of the globe for a year, mainly living in a tent and carrying everything she needed on her bike. Having lived a minimalist lifestyle over the past few years, this year-long project raised further significant questions regarding the environment and air pollution. Cycling and air pollution have now become a basis for her art-making and practice-based research. Clare became a recognised Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA) in 2016. She has been lecturing in Art & Design and Graphic Design for the past nine years. With strong interests in curation, Clare has worked as a co-curator & writer at Kunsthuis Gallery, North Yorkshire. With curator and owner Cecile Creemers, they exhibited a large number of shows with artists sourced from all over the world including USA, Australia, Lithuania, Sweden, Spain and South America.
