\"Seth<\/a><\/p>\n

I really like abandoned buildings. There’s something about a space that was once somebody’s home or workplace that not only stands empty but is falling apart that makes you think of the transience of things. All that life a used building is infused with, just gone as the materials slowly deteriorate.<\/p>\n

\"Seth<\/a><\/p>\n

All the energy and care devoted to that space vanishes quickly with the incursions of nature. It all happens surprisingly quickly – a couple of broken windows, some winter snow gets in, and the next thing you know, the whole place is falling down. Clark captures that fragility.<\/p>\n

\"Seth<\/a><\/p>\n

Subject matter aside, from a craft perspective I really like Clark’s approach. he gets a real variety of marks and lines with all the different media he uses in his work and somehow I find that it lends a kind of verit\u00e9 to the mixed quality of architecture. In a sense it’s like 2-D models more than drawing, though Clark’s drawing skills are quite strong – his renderings look almost photographic until you look more closely.\u00a0\"Seth<\/a><\/p>\n

More of Clark’s work can be seen on his website or on his Facebook page<\/a>.<\/p>\n
