Bio
Clark’s practice explores the digital hybridity of sculpture following the affirmation of media. Her work chronicles the elevated reframing of black anatomy - unencumbered, in traction - the mediation between three-dimensional processes alongside the handmade aesthetic within an extended analysis of ‘Objecthood’; the resulting objects emerge contextually abstracted from traditional representational aesthetics - embedded in the everyday, collective experience through methods of display. Such ideological positioning shifts the normative function of figurative practices within this mode of self-referential questioning, which engenders a self-sustaining (non-)fiction rooted in authenticity and criticality that allows audiences to break free from reference once and for all in a new form of hybrid realism.
Rayvenn lives and works in London. She graduated with an MA in Fine Art from Chelsea College of Arts in 2018, having previously completed her BA there in 2017. Recent exhibitions and projects include: Black+White=GREY (Solo Exhibition) at Picnic Gallery (London, 2019), The State of Things (Group Exhibition) at Copeland Gallery (London, 2019), How Are You, Babe (Group Exhibition) at Blank100 (London, 2019), ABSTRACT:REALITY (Group Exhibition) at Saatchi Gallery (London, 2018).
