Clementine Edwards
Clementine Edwards is a Rotterdam-based artist working between sculpture and writing. They're the artist and editor of The Material Kinship Reader, co-edited with Kris Dittel, which thinks material beyond extraction and kinship beyond the nuclear family. Clementine’s practice engages with craft, climate crisis, gender and how lived experience, including trauma, narrates meaning-making. It asks, How to honour and remember 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 Amsterdam and a LiveWorks fellow at Centrale Fies in Dro. Among other places they’ve exhibited and performed at Tent Rotterdam, Temporary Gallery, Koln, Framer Framed, Amsterdam and Stavanger Museum.
