Hear from Richmond, Virginia-based fiber artist Sonya Clark discuss how her art evokes tales of transformation and self discovery. The varied objects she crafts reflect a design sensibility inspired by the rhythmic improvisation inherent in the rich textile and hair traditions of Africa, Black America, and the Caribbean. Clark will tie in her State of the Art artwork, Albers Interaction Series, with her overall artistic process. Clark currently serves as Chair and Professor in the Department of Craft/Material Studies at the School of the Arts, Virginia Commonwealth University. Sponsored by the Crystal Bridges Art Now Fund.
