Clara Jorisch is a Montreal based glass artist, designer and craft(wo)man with a background in visual art and graphic design. Clara’s work proposes a sculptural approach to everyday objects and questions functional imperatives. All the pieces she makes streams from useless ideas, and integrates deliberate imperfections. They are admittedly irrational, and open to interpretation. In her practice, Clara explores various craft techniques and materials as a way to question the behaviors prescribed by mundane objects. Her practice seeks to create small disturbance in everyday settings and trigger new ways of interacting with our familiar surroundings.
