About : 


Clover was born and brought up in London, UK, and studied at Wimbledon School of Art/North East London Polytechnic (now the University of East London) in Fine Art (Painting). After several years practice based in Angel Studios, EC1, she pursued a residency with Gertrude Street Artists Spaces in Melbourne, Australia and have been based in AU since the mid 90s. 

She uses sound, digital imaging and installation in my practice. Interests in found sound (field recordings) have led to a focus on contemporary landscape and ideas surrounding our changing relationship with nature, and in particular, other animals. The everyday - the quotidian, the common - informs this exploration. 

Clover working on my PhD at RMIT University, Melbourne and tutor and lecture at Swinburne University, Melbourne, on the MA (Writing).
