Welcome to Carole Clark.net! I make vessels and jewelry from materials foraged from nature. An astonishing array of natural materials include fallen tree bark, lichen, mushrooms moss, berries and seedpods.
My use of green materials, sourced from nature, defines my work as eco friendly, sustainable art. This environmentally sustainable practice of foraging natural elements is similar to that of collage in its process of selection and juxtaposition. Each vessel begins with a supporting container whose shape is enhanced by the texture and patterning of the ground barks. The vessels are created in the round and have neither front nor back. Though they can be used to hold dried flowers, I think they are best left empty to be appreciated as sculpture. I am located near Historic Hudson New York, in upstate NY, 2 hours from New York City. Please feel free to contact me for pricing or other information.
