“My work is rooted in the post-consumer packaging [...] It is not only a continuation of the life of materials, but a rebellion against speed, disposability and the erasure of the craft.”
Meritxell Claverol is a visual artist from Pallars Jussà, Catalonia who lives in Los Angeles.
Claverol brings her own modern twist to what is a medium rich with deep historical context, with its adoption in the creation of many notable pieces from elaborate Victorian furnishings to the famous Japanese Kirtsune masks. At the centre of her practice is the notion of cyclic nature of the material being used.
