Claudia Bloxsome — 'The Town Was a Witness' Woven Sculpture, 2023
$2,750
This woven sculpture by Claudia Bloxsome is driven by pivotal moments of mid-transformation, where the possibility of new stories reign.
Building on the explorations of cloth as a fluid, transformative material, Bloxsome deconstructs and re-imagines the grid of warp and weft, showcasing woven forms that aim to create a feeling of movement within a stagnant object, visually challenging the perceptions of textiles through innovative uses of fibre.

Claudia Bloxsome's practice is rooted in the transformative potential of weaving. Inspired by the rich history of weaving, which has both sustained societies through utilitarian constraints and evolved into a contemporary art form, weaving is a lifelong pursuit for Claudia, offering endless possibilities for experimentation. Through meticulous manipulation of fibres, she explores the interplay of time, sentiment and care. Often incorporating metal and timber as scaffolding to elevate woven cloth into sculptural forms.
Her personal experience with mental health also informs her work, providing a therapeutic outlet and a desire to create spaces of visual respite for others.
"Through rhythm, colour, and texture, I aim to evoke a sense of calm and wonder, offering viewers a momentary escape into a world of aesthetic repose." - Claudia Bloxsome
