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

“No matter her materials, Clark “braids” and “twists” associations, creating works with a distinctly emotional tensile strength.”
