Seth Clark: House Portrait (honeycomb)

Clark collages with found paper to reflect the fragmented and complex tactility of decay. Once he achieves a dimensional foundation, various medias like charcoal, pastel, and graphite are used to bring definition and depth to these raw materials. The processes of collage and drawing alternate between themselves lending to a seamless blend of the two mediums. It often takes months for the structure to appear out of the many scraps of paper and scribble, for as Clark describes, “something very energized and present to escape out of a slow history of abandonment”.
