Clipper by Julian Hooper

Being

Creative visual thinking is fundamental to us all as human beings as we strive to understand our sense of self and the world. Chartwell seeks to deepen understanding about the importance of art and creative thinking for our future and our wellbeing.

Making

Chartwell supports artists as they make and think. Making is an active and connected process, involving the interaction of intention, intuition and intellect with the mediums of the world. Chartwell is making too - making a difference through philanthropy and enabling access to creative activities and research.

Description

Clipper
"Clipper is a playful character who outgrew his clothes. The simple geometry of the painted wood also has a playful building-block quality. The mitre lines in the wood grain are important because they suggest shoulders and lead us up to the eyes."
Julian Hooper to Ron Brownson, 30 October 2019
