5 minutes with Claudia aka Maus Haus…

Hey Claudia! What’s been happening in the world of Maus Haus since we last caught up?
I’m very fortunate to say that I have been working on lots of collaborations and private commissions, while organising a few shop releases along the way. This has also all been happening whilst I’m setting up for life with my first baby! This year has been an absolute whirlwind and I’m very grateful for it all.

What was your inspiration for this second drop?
Iceland has some of the most surreal and magical landscapes that I have ever seen, it feels like you have stepped into some fantasy book. I wanted to capture that magical feeling through these rolling forms and lush colours.

What’s the story behind mountains being such a prominent theme throughout your work?
There hasn’t been one particular experience that has drawn me to them, I’ve always found them very fascinating and will never get bored of exploring how to portray them. I love the distinctive characteristics that mountains can have, which can make them instantly recognisable to people. They make up some of the most iconic scenes on Earth, and they’re naturally made! They’ve been here before us and will most likely stay long after we’re gone, I think that’s pretty amazing.

Thanks Claudia!
