FEATURING TALENTED LOCAL ARTISTS
Substrate with memory — Joseph Clarke
Joseph Clarke’s studio is in an old firehouse in Kent, CT. His immaculate light-filled studio is where he disrupts surface and structure, bringing to life significant abstract works that shift in the light, each angle providing the viewer with an alternate image.

Born in Germany, Henneberg and his family […]
