Sonya Clark

head

The head is a sacred place, the center where cultural influences are absorbed, siphoned and retained, and the site where we process the world through the senses. The sculptural headdresses I create are metaphorical funnels for the fluidity of cultural heritage and cultural melding

“Clark’s artistry, like a rhizome, emphasizes multiplicity and the connectivity of intrinsic form and substance to resonant histories…”
