Clancy Warner
Australian Artist & Sculptor

My art practice is split between the art that I am torn to make and the art that is a joy to make. I have a passion for animals, so critters have a tendency to pop out every now and then and i am the conduit that brings them to life. They are the joy.

The art that I am torn to make has a political and social justice edge to it. It is work that starts off as an idea that niggles at me until i transfer that idea into a sculpture. These sculptures are the representations of what I experience, see and feel of the world.
