Welsey Clark | A Human Synthesis | 04.04.2023-05.15.2023

“My interests lie in utilizing mark making as a tool for self exploration – mapless journeys seeking a truer expression of my interior. These works are a series of journals, recording each step, each decision made – graphite or erasure. Seeing. Processing. Reacting. Repeat. That is where the Art lies. The results are artifacts of the moment (or moments). Records that string together a loose narrative woven when reading the marks and the residue of conversations/arguments; personal revelations that change direction; moving toward the call of challenge - the call to find / do / make something new. They are moments of loud, physically active meditations with Trap and Go-Go [upbeat, percussive-based music local to D.C.], influencing the energies behind each mark.”

— Wesley Clark

A Human Synthesis aims to evoke an abstract personal dialogue that exists within the individual; giving way to a singular, human perspective. Ewing’s curatorial approach couples psychological theories, literary devices, and visual language to shape the exhibition’s cognitive framework through a southern hermeneutical lens.
