M. Clark

M. Clark creates dynamic conversations between constancy and chaos by manipulating heat and pressure to adhere metallic foil to varied surfaces. Her pieces reflect light in diffuse patterns producing a shifting luminosity that is unique to her work. Clark’s creative process includes constant experimentation with materials. Each piece is created over many weeks using a specialized technique that Clark developed. She explores the physical boundaries of her chosen medium with innovations in modern process. She finds the resulting “Art” a commentary on life: “The goal is always to find balance amid the upheaval. But it’s the juxtaposition of the two in a composition that keeps things interesting.” Clark's artwork has roots in the way she processes symbols. As a dyslexic, the multi-dimensional shape and arc of letters are more powerful than stringed characters forming words. She sees a linear structure broken by entropy and movement. The relationships between form, depth, and space emerge in the non-representational nature of her work. Clark’s studio is in New York City. Her award-winning works are owned by collectors around the world and have been featured in international publications and media. A large installation has also been exhibited in The Smithsonian.
