These three words are how Clare Graham describes himself. His art? You’ll have to see it to get a feel for it! The few samples I’ll share here are just a beginning. Clare does so many many things. So what is his objective?

Clare creates art. Recently “Recycled Art” or art made from discarded materials. Take a look but try to think of something to say besides “Oh my Gawd” – or his favorite; “Why would someone do that?”. Groupings of curious pieces often take the form of furniture and many of his sets boast of containing millions if not merely hundreds of thousands of materials. Scrabble tiles, Bottlecaps etc.
