Claire Corey was the recipient of the Aldrich Emerging Artist Award in 2001.  Her work has been seen at the Museum in Early Acclaim (2002) and Inkjet (2000).

Corey states, “I am immersed in a dialogue with the history of painting via technology. I want to challenge what is perceived to be traditional painting versus what we expect from digital. My paintings are completely composed in the computer (incorporating computer error patterns and glitches), and then printed onto large rolls of canvas and stretched. I then add hand-applied varnish and paint to the surface. The result is a highly sophisticated hybrid work utilizing the tools of past and present to extend the dialogue of painting further, to question our expectations of what is made using a machine and what it means to be painting with a computer today. In order to further expand painting, I create ‘moving paintings’ by taking the final digital files used to print the paintings and animating them. These are projected, ultimately encompassing the viewer in the same way as my large canvases.”
