“Clark understands that printmaking offers multiple metaphors for life's dynamic and often stressful and pressing realities.” - Raven Editions’ Founder, Curlee Raven Holton

Clark’s work is deeply influenced by pop culture, the TV, movies, books, science fiction, religion, myths, and pseudoscience found in our everyday. This interest finds its focus in the exploration of the duality of our existence as humans. Exploring this form of communication, the imagination, that enables us to bring to make physical manifestations of our ideas. Through layered images and media, he offers a response to both the physical world and the interior landscape of the mind.
