About the Artist

Rebecca Clark

Limbo is an ongoing series of cyanotype prints of blemished, irregular, and withered plants and leaves inspired by the experience of sudden and irreversible change. The humble plants and leaves that Clark photographs are characters existing in an ambiguous time and space that interact with each other and respond to forces beyond their control. She continues the transformation started by time, weather, and insects through the photographic process using motion blur and selective focus. Within each composition are juxtapositions intended to represent the precarious balance between dualities and the terror and beauty of transition from one state to another.
