unievents.auckland.ac.nzOccupying spaces - looking at the horizon and asking what is behind that tree?
Fiona Clark left Inglewood, Taranaki in 1971 and moved to Auckland starting at Elam School of Fine Arts in 1972, fifty-two (52) years ago.
In her own words, "The art history and paintings presented to us at Elam were exponents of romanticism - it had little relationship to what I had found in the inner city of Auckland - to the events and friends I was meeting at that time. I learnt to never just look at the tree – to seriously look behind, question and listen.
I moved to Tikorangi, Taranaki in 1975 purchasing the ex-dairy factory property and buildings. My work practise is longitudinal. Far from being clinical and sanitised I do my best to engage."
Join us on campus at Elam as this exceptional artist shows how closely and deeply, she has been looking and cataloguing what is behind that tree her whole career.
