Glacier, Abstract Painting

Artist Comments
Artist M. Clark developed a unique process that gives her work a distinct style. Silver foil is sculpted and painted in broad expressive strokes, creating a continuously shifting luminosity that is dependent on the viewer's vantage point. This provides an infinitely evolving viewing experience.This piece is a triptych composed of three separate panels. The left and right panels are 25"x18" and the center panel measures 25"x12".

About the Artist
M. Clark manipulates metallic foil in order to create rich surfaces that are highly reactive to shifts in light. She strives to continually push the bounds of her gold foil medium, including working directly with a manufacturer to develop foil in specific sizes and colors that were not previously available. As a person with dyslexia, her artwork has roots in the way she processes symbols. "The multidimensional shape and arc of letters are more powerful than stringed characters forming words," she explains. M. lives in New York and works in a studio on the 35th floor with big windows overlooking the East River. She describes it as an inspiring and calming space, and is fastidious about keeping the place organized. Her work has been exhibited nationally, including a large scale installation in the Smithsonian, and is collected internationally.
