Strike a Pose with Claire Moore

Claire has collected poses from the Clayton Heights community—poses that reflect people’s experience of the past year. Claire’s drawings explore the many ways people have been impacted and how we hold these memories in our bodies. Claire’s drawings will be on display at Clayton Community Centre this fall.

Claire Moore is a multi-media artist who lives and works near Crescent Beach. Her art practice ranges from small-scale sculptural interventions to large format oil paintings and her process is often collaborative. 

Tell Your Story with Jude

Jude Campbell is a Surrey-based artist who collects found objects and personal historical artifacts. She reconfigures these into multimedia installations to give voice to personal and community stories.

After meeting with local residents to listen to their stories, Jude will use the text from these stories to create a hanging sculpture with members of the community that will hang publicly in the Clayton Community Centre.  

Play with Tamara

Tamara Unroe is a maker, a puppeteer, and a committed dumpster diver. She studied visual art at the Emily Carr University of Art and Design, and puppetry with Sandglass Theatre in Vermont. She has worked with artists and communities in Canada, Taiwan, Europe, and Thailand. Tamara builds large- scale puppets, shadow puppets, costumes, and sculptural installations, often incorporating found objects and sound.

Come join Tamara to explore ways to play with shadow and light in an artistic/ theatrical context. Working with the stories and images created and collected by Claire and Jude in the previous months, participants will create shadow characters and scenes, culminating in a shadow performance!
