My work examines the tension between structural discipline and material fluidity. Hand-shaped wooden frames, rooted in a multigenerational woodworking tradition, establish a controlled architectural foundation. Within and across these structures, hand-dip dyed textiles introduce rhythm, tonal variation, and subtle movement. The work considers how stability and change can coexist within a single form, and how process remains visible in the finished object.
Spencer Clark (b. 1983) is an Atlanta-based artist whose practice brings together woodworking and textiles through a disciplined, sculptural approach to material. Raised within a multigenerational lineage of woodworkers, Clark’s work reflects a sustained engagement with craft traditions while situating them within a contemporary formal language.
He studied at the University of Georgia and spent nearly two decades working as a professional photographer, experiences that sharpened his sensitivity to composition, light, and spatial structure. Time spent in Japan and an ongoing artistic dialogue with artist Anna Brady continue to inform a practice defined by precision, restraint, and an acute awareness of process.
