The Life Outside Issue

Introducing the Life Outside issue of Habitus magazine. With life increasingly being absorbed into a digital space, there is never a more important moment to hold something tangible. In this context, the power of nature to have a physiological impact on our sense of wellbeing has never been more important. So how can we cultivate the benefits of the our natural environment in the most intimate of places – our homes? This was the question that helped to bring this issue of Habitus to life.

‘Into The Deep’ at Butler Goode Gallery

Claire Layman continues her exploration “Into the Deep” by presenting a collection of paintings influenced by the hidden textures in water and rocks.

Claire Layman depicts multi-layered marble like surfaces which shows a myriad of colours, three dimensional textures and light reflecting surfaces, all beneath a beautifully polished resin surface.

Unlike traditional painting techniques the secret iridescent textures of Claire Layman’s art is to be discovered beneath the surface, rather than upon it, enticing the viewer to look deeper.

Claire’s work is heavily influenced by natural elements such as Water, Fire, Air and Stone. Her paintings have a unique three-dimensional quality to them and although their slick resin finish gives the viewer the impression of a perfectly smooth surface, upon closer inspection the paintings reveal light reflecting multi-layered textures below the surface, much like rock formations found naturally in nature.
