M. Clark

Collective Chemistry: Penny

2020

M. Clark creates dynamic conversations between constancy and chaos by sculpting metallic foil on varied surfaces. Her pieces reflect light in diffuse patterns- producing striking luminosity that shifts with the viewer’s vantage point. This provides an infinitely evolving viewing experience which gives her work the distinct style she is known for. Being dyslexic, the multidimensional shapes and arcs of letters are more powerful than stringed characters forming words. She sees a linear structure broken by entropy and movement. This relationship between form, depth, and space emerge in the non-representational nature of her work. Clark’s creative process includes constant experimentation with materials. Each piece is created at her New York City studio over many months using a specialized technique that Clark developed. Her award-winning works are owned by collectors around the world and have been featured in international publications and media, and exhibited in The Smithsonian.
