This show concludes a trilogy that included the acclaimed
Hypocrite’s Lament & Fever Jubilee. Continuing her exploration of our
intricate and fraught relationship with Nature, Paradise Apparatus
explores the sensations and mysteries of chemistry, perception and colour
as they relate to the search for fulfilment with references to aspects of
science, alchemy, theatre-craft and art making.
Overwhelming at times and intentionally experiential,
Clark’s installations are made up of two- and three-dimensional elements
that spill and spread throughout the gallery space.

Made up of a universe of materials -from traditional to
profane- the artworks reflect Clark’s continued process-driven experiments
and her work with space, analogy, accumulation, repetition and
co-operation. For this exhibition she has primarily used paper and found
objects to create a curious interplay between various spaces.
Clark has been involved with a number of group shows at
Whatiftheworld. Big Wednesday (2008) was co-curated with Daniel Levi. This
was followed by her solo curatorial debut, Sing Into My Mouth (2009). Her
work has appeared on numerous group shows, including most recently
DadaSouth at Iziko South African National Gallery (2009/10). This will be
her fist solo presentation at Whatiftheworld.
