Although I could not relate to all of Clark's work, I was struck by her interactive sculptures and the idea that art is only created when someone interacts with one of her works. She was appalled when museums encased her work in glass boxes rendering them lifeless. Using recycled materials (CDs, wrapping paper) I constructed moveable, interlocking objects which would, I hope, invite the viewer to 'play'. For me the unexpected reflection of the mirrors on the ceiling with objects appearing as blurred shadows was the most exciting result.
I am working on a large painting inspired by a photograph of the CDs which is compelling due to the vivid colours and repeated circular planes in all directions. (Elise Gibbons)
