///SONYA CLARK : MIXED MEDIA

Investigating simple objects as cultural interfaces, Sonya Clark is drawn to objects that connect to her personal narrative, creating a springboard for a work of art's form, scale and material. In her work, otherwise passive objects acquire the ability to reflect and absorb a viewer's belief, creating a lens through which we may better see one another. Sonya Clark received a BFA fro the Art Institute of Chicago and an MFA from Cranbrook Academy of Art. She has exhibited her work in over 250 museums and galleries internationally and has been awarded the Pollock-Krasner Award, a Rockefeller Foundation Residency and a Smithsonian Artist Research Fellowship.
