Scissors, Paper, Art was an exhibit of collaged works by Jack Burk and Claire Clements. Utilizing paper, painting, and drawing, the pieces sing with the vibrancy of the natural world. Plants and flowers are present in all of the images, expressing a lushness that connects material and subject matter. Central to Clement’s technique is the use of silhouettes and flat planes of color, while Burk explores texture and materiality.
A resident of Athens, GA, Iowa-transplant Burk is a former public school art educator who has shown widely across the city. Clements is an associate professor emerita of the University of Georgia College of Education, where she taught for almost 20 years. Both Clements and Burk are active members of the local Plein Aire Painters group, which Clements helped found.
This exhibition was organized as a result of the artists submitting an Exhibition Proposal through the Arts Center’s website. There is an ongoing call for artists and community members are encouraged to apply.
