ARTIST
Niamh Clarke
ABOUT THE WORK
This giclée print by Niamh Clarke, Head, Heart, Hand (Black Mountain College Series), features a text written by the artist stitched to a hand-drawn reproduction of an archival photograph of a Mayday celebration at Black Mountain College. Black Mountain College was a liberal art college based in Carolina, USA, active during the 1930’s to mid-1950’s. It’s radical teaching attracted some of America’s most influential artists and thinkers, and became an incubation space for experimental production. The image explores how collective artistic activity can bring forth new forms of creative and social practice.
Text reads: a head full of soul, hymns, wild, reveries, consume the heart, these hands cannot contain.

ABOUT THE ARTIST
Niamh Clarke’s practice centres on drawing, extending into written prose, watercolour, and Super 8 film as expanded forms of mark-making. Her work explores the poetics of memory and the passage of time, using drawing as both a method of inquiry and a temporal trace.
