Arrowtown-based artist Jasmine Clark grew up in Karekare on Auckland’s west coast and was introduced to weaving by her grandmother and mother, both rug weavers. She studied sculpture and object design at Unitec Institute of Technology in Auckland and visual arts at Nelson Polytechnic. Over the past 20 years, Jasmine has developed innovative weaving and sculptural techniques inspired by natural forms and processes. Her work incorporates a range of natural and recycled materials, including flax, rattan, driftwood, willow, copper wire, pumice, and sea bull kelp.
