PAUL MCCLURE
Biography:
Paul McClure received his training from NSCAD University, Halifax, Canada (BFA, 1989); Escola Massana, Barcelona, Spain; and National College of Art and Design, Dublin, Ireland (MA, 1999). In 2015, McClure received the Saidye Bronfman Prize, a Governor General of Canada Award, the highest distinction given to a Canadian visual artist. The scientific fields of biology, pathology and genetics inspire his work as well as anatomical, microscopic and digital imaging of the human body. His work reflects our increasingly digital, biotechnological understanding of mortality. In wearing his jewellery, the invisible body becomes visible adornment.
