CFPR Seminar - Wunderkammer exhibition
Recorded Seminar where I talk about my body of work ‘Wunderkammer’ exhibited in the Reelcases around UWE’s Bower Ashton Campus, as part of CFPR’s Methods of Making series.
Work in Progress
Creating work for HOME SWEET HOME.
HOME SWEET HOME - online exhibition
Home Sweet home is an online exhibition featuring an eclectic mix of artists whose practice naturally engages with the theme of The Domestic. The exhibition will exist predominantly on Instagram on the @rentedbythehour account and will run for just over 2 weeks featuring one
artists work per day. Direct access with photography and film is gained into the artists private homes where their autobiographical responses to lockdown will be recorded.
This subject matter to this exhibition was chosen due to the extra time everyone is spending at home as well as the repetitive language and actions we are being fed daily via the media/government; "Stay Home", "Lockdown" “Save Lives” etc and how this enters our consciousness as artists/human beings.
New Year, New Etching!

Woolwich Contemporary Print Fair 2017
An Honest Woman, An Honest Man and Chickie Nubbins.
Review written about 'An Honest Woman', a piece I will be exhibiting at the Woolwich Print Fair in October. By the brilliant Sophie Hill, blogger at postcardwall.wordpress.com
Etchings often bring an essence of naturalist documentation to artwork, lead by their infinite capacity for detail, forged by the delicate line. It is this line that caresses objects so closely, focusing our attention on each component of Clarke’s compositions. Leading our eye thus, the subjects of her work gather a collective and poignant resonance, humming almost in their concentration of detail. This concentration is then spiked, tipped over to a raw seduction, as we realise the provocative subjects of her scenes. In An Honest Woman the intimacy of a shrouded clearing is scattered with haunting symbols that pinch the viewer’s gaze – nudity spilling out of open legs. A woman hangs, deadly still, though it is at the mercy of her own hands that she swings – curiously, from a large severed forearm with curling fingers – her feet digging into the soft flesh of an incomplete body. Smaller bodies are kept in the shadows of the foliage, slanting eyes caught in the flow and rush of earth as it cascades down to the pit of the painting, while a rat-like creature surveys the situation, clutching its jaw, its eye bright with a gleam. This scene, that scratches away at our imagination with descriptive and fantastically leading lines, is then calmed, soothed, by the placidly flat distant mountains.
I have a few pieces of work showing and for sale at the Woolwich Print Fair.
The show runs from Friday 20th October - Monday 23rd October 11 - 5pm. PV Friday at 6pm.
