In his first solo gallery show in over 7 years, Clark has brought his work to an unprecedented level. His works deal with the relationships between humanity and it's creations and the environment in which they exist. Technical drawing, visual texture, and the use of repetition are an integral to this body of work. 


Clark graduated in 2000 with a BFA in printmaking from Kutztown University. His love for printmaking and collage is evident. Physically worked surfaces, close ups of close ups, images of landscapes, structures, organic shapes, decorative patterns, and portions of text and diagrams, all fantastically layered. He masters creating environments rich in depth and texture.


The work in this show touches on politics and environmentalism. In these new collages, there is a crowded but sometimes empty and very quiet feeling. At times it can become so dense that there is little room for anything else. In some of these works there is a sense of expectation that some sort of powerful event might occur.
