Here are several produced pieces of

work by Clarice Cliff which she is

acknowledged for. She has a very

unique and creative way of creating

art. She harvests her own products

such as plates, masks and many more.

She also does her own colourful

paintings of cities or just interesting

designs.

Inspiration

Clarice Cliff’s use of colours on her work is what

inspires me to have a lively city for this project

because they co-operate really well together. The

shapes of the vases and cups would be very useful

when it comes to designing buildings or other objects

for the city. Moreover, her masterpieces of masks is

what captures my attention which gradually gives me

ideas for features to include for my upcoming city for

instances statues and sculptures. In addition they also

remind of the oriental masks such as the Chinese and

Japanese which is also the culture which I am

interested in.
