Jasmine Clark is a renowned Arrowtown-based artist, contemporary weaver and sculptor. Woven by hand from natural and foraged materials, her works play with form and shadow, creating striking artworks that are unlike any other. Clark grew up in Karekare on Auckland’s West Coast, where she developed a deep appreciation of nature and natural form. Her introduction to weaving came from her grandmother and mother, both rug weavers. “Mum used to set me up on a little loom when I was a child which kept me captivated for hours. I went straight to art school from high school and when I was 18, I took a night class on flax weaving. I was hooked and have been weaving ever since.” Clark continues to utilise natural materials — sea bull kelp, recycled copper wire, willow, and rattan — often found or foraged and woven into her lexicon of pattern.
