ERIC CLARK
QUICK FACTSYears As An Artist
I have been interested in art from an early age, but I have been working in clay, almost exclusively for 7 years. Main Clay Body It depends on the finishing technique, but I do use a lot of light bodied stoneware. Primary Clay Building Methods I try to use a little bit of everything; I can't just choose one. Wheel-throwing, slip casting, and hand building. Favorite Studio Tool A small detail paintbrush for smoothing out marks made from tools. Clay Wishes or Dreams Keep making art and help inspire my students to pursue their dreams. |

ARTIST STATEMENT
My current body of work springs from my fasciation with industry and the magic of the production process. The objects I create are made by hand and sculpted in clay. I strive to remove identifiable information about the process in which its made and, often, what material it was made from; this challenge continues to intrigue me and creates a sense of mystery about the object’s true origin. I have a growing interest in industrial aesthetics and the mass-production processes of food and everyday objects.
