Berkshire, Reese and Paul Galleries
For over thirty years, James O. Clark has been inspired by the properties of light and the production of experimental sculptures that employ it as a medium. The 23 works on display in this exhibition were created between 1993 and 2000 and purposefully reflect the range and scope of Clark's sculptural light-based investigations. Balloons, neon, car parts, bubble and fog machines, water, helium, fluorescent lights, fiber-optic cables and electroluminescent wire, and live chickens are all represented in his work.
This exhibition was organized by the Clara M. Eagle Gallery at Murray State University in Murray, Kentucky. It was supported by the Creative Motif Fund in New York.
