Australian born Clayton Blake is a multidisciplinary installation artist widely recognised for his large scale works that employ various elements of architecture and sculpture. Clayton uses a diverse range of materials to create large scale, contemporary installations that challenge and excite. He constructs expansive works that respond to or reflect their environments, whilst challenging and distorting the viewer’s preconceptions of structures and space. His art practice involves creating works that are interactive, inhabitable and participatory. Clayton attempts to expand the definition of art to include new forms of social engagement. He uses his art to promote discussion, encourage debate, and raise awareness about injustice, inequality and social change.
