Sonya Clark: Tatter, Bristle, and Mend


  • National Museum of Women in the Arts 1250 New York Avenue Northwest Washington, DC, 20005 United States (map)

This exhibition—the first survey of Clark’s 25-year career—includes the artist’s well-known sculptures made from black pocket combs, human hair, and thread as well as works created from flags, currency, beads, cotton plants, pencils, books, a typewriter, and a hair salon chair. The artist transmutes each of these everyday objects through her application of a vast range of fiber-art techniques: Clark weaves, stitches, folds, braids, dyes, pulls, twists, presses, snips, or ties within each object.

Access the online exhibition.
