Claire Lieberman

Grenade With Flowers

2017

As a sculptor Claire Lieberman uses both traditional and experimental materials such as Jell-O, alabaster, wax, glass, rubber and marble, as well as video and photography to create installations that trigger a sense of dislocation. As a printmaker, Lieberman explores formal aspects of her often ephemeral sculptural works. Juxtaposing solid and ephemeral materials with static and kinetic imagery, Lieberman creates a surprising reality where the solidity and rigidity of both image and material remain unresolved. Claire Lieberman holds and MFA from Pratt Institute a BFA from Tufts University.
