Kate Clark

Kate Clark is a multidisciplinary artist that has created art projects
nationally and internationally. Her studio practice explores the
constant reinterpretation and reincarnation that folk figures undergo,
and how they express themselves through everyday people. While she
works in many mediums, Kate returns to clay because she can do things
with it she loves most: draw, paint, and squish material into figures.



Much of her studio practice reflects a fascination with the sculptural
morphing of the human female form—rooted in both her ambivalence
toward her assigned gender and her deep admiration for women
throughout history. She frequently reimagines female figures from
classical art, and her decorative style draws on Euro-American craft
traditions—once mostly practiced by men but now largely carried on by
women—such as Nordic rosemaling and Pennsylvania Dutch folk art.
