The South Haven Center for the Arts is pleased to have the work of mixed media artist Alisa Clark as part of the 2020 Mistletoe Market Virtual Artist & Artisan Gallery.
Alisa works from her studio in South Lyon, Michigan, in what she calls “liminal space,” the space that forms life’s “in-betweens.” Paints, sand, fabrics, found objects, and other materials shape her art as she “floats in, above, and through” the liminal space and time inside her creative mind, until she surfaces back to reality.
Alisa's ideas and inspiration are borne of memories from her past, and looking toward the future; objects of significance to her that form spiritual connections—a representation of a tortoise, which reminds her of her son, strips of the scientific writings of her father, who made significant contributions to the realm of science during his lifetime. She combines these types of materials with cold wax and jelly plate paper techniques and others, to create textural and intriguing artwork that is meaningful to her, and meant to resonate with others on a universal and spiritual level.
