Clarity Fornell

Clarity Elise Fornell graduated from Savannah College of Art and Design with a BFA in Fiber Art.

She is driven by the meditative motions of the loom and the tedious actions inherent to craft, irreplaceable by automated machinery. She is experienced in the mediums of weaving, quilting, embroidery, beadweaving, leatherwork, hat making, and most recently practicing clothing making. She explores the restorative quality of textiles, both for our psyches and our physical beings, and in that restoration marries function with design. Although drawing from materials and tones of the natural world, Clarity employs found objects and recycled media from the current consumerist realm. Her work has appeared in Sotheby’s Contemporary Art Auction, Skye Gallery, Miami Art Basel and in publications such as Architectural Digest and Remodelista.
