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 affirms her affinity for … an aesthetic of improvisational materiality.”
