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 represents a significant body of knowledge drawn from an exceptional academic foundation and an ancestral stream of grandparents”
