Stannard's Stunning Sculptures
Claire Suzy Stannard is a woman with a mission. To bring her deserving collection of artwork to the public’s attention. Claire has made sure that her unique work leaves a profound impression on the spectator’s minds by exploring the ideas of balance and symmetry within the forms of abstract geometric art. Claire’s art, created using a variety of materials such as wood and Perspex, is on display as of September 19, 2008 at the Gallery Adagio in Glebe. Trendspotting sat down with Claire to discover the person behind such fascinating and scintillating designs.
