Tim Clarkson is a ceramic based sculptural artist currently working from his studio at Montsalvat.
His most recent work explores the deconstruction of forms into basic shapes and lines, which are then reconstructed in a semi-abstract manner using sharp angular planes and geometric shapes. He is most commonly known for his origami inspired sculptures such as the crane, which can be seen in various public collections around Victoria.
He has completed several significant commissions both here and overseas, including the Crown Metropol Hotel Melbourne, the Marriott Hotel Sydney and more recently a large scaled commission for the new Four Seasons Hotel Guangzhou, China.
