Come see Studio Inc’s Resident Artist Hadley Clark’s solo exhibition, This Water, open from September 12th until October 25th.
Hadley Clark walks an ever-expanding circuit connecting her life and her studio practice; from sewing table to home closet to backyard compost to garden beds to kitchen stovetop, and changing with the seasons, and back again, and a little wider next time. Functionally, this belief system results in work that is made slowly and humbly with plant-dyed, found, and donated textiles, often incorporating discarded cuts from the floor of Clark’s studio, and leans in the direction of the emotional, psychological, and memorializing qualities of a garment in the life of its wearer. This exhibition captures the artist as she eschews garments’ utility on the body in favor of the personal and spiritual signifiers they carry on the wall.
This Water is a summative exhibition of sculptural works made by Hadley Clark during her time as a resident at Studios Inc, 2023-25.
Opening Reception will be on September 12th from 5-8 pm.
Artist Talk on September 20th, from 12-1 pm, where Hadley Clark will share her methods and experiences to viewers about her work, and time during her Residency at Studios Inc.
