Produced Work (Clarice Cliff)

Here are several produced pieces of

work by Clarice Cliff which she is
acknowledged for. She has a very
unique and creative way of creating
art. She harvests her own products
such as plates, masks and many more.
She also does her own colourful
paintings of cities or just interesting
designs.

Inspiration
Clarice Cliffs use of colours on her work is what
inspires me to have a lively city for this project
because they co-operate really well together. The
shapes of the vases and cups would be very useful
when it comes to designing buildings or other objects
for the city. Moreover, her masterpieces of masks is
what captures my attention which gradually gives me
ideas for features to include for my upcoming city for
instances statues and sculptures. In addition they also
remind of the oriental masks such as the Chinese and
Japanese which is also the culture which I am
interested in.
