Website Redesign!

Hey Clamp Light crew,

So you might have noticed that the website has gone through a bit of a redesign in recent weeks. Let me take a few minutes to walk you through some of the new features on the Blog. First we have included several new pages to our blog design. The first of these is Exhibition Opportunities. Here we have included a few easy to follow instructions to present your artwork in the Clamp Light Gallery. Next, we have embedded our Exhibition Calendar this will help you keep you up-to-date with all of the happenings at Clamp Light.  The next page is the Clamp Light Resident Artist page. This page will take you to a link for each of our websites. Please check all of them out! The next two pages are devoted to Social Media. The first is Clamp Light's Instagram Feed embedded into the page. This will allow you to like photos and keep up with all of the shenanigans that happen at and around these crazy artist! And the final new page is Clamp Light's Twitter Feed embedded into the page. Now clamplightstudios.blogspot.comis the one stop shop for all of the Clamp Light info!

Happy Exploring!

Thoughts on "I am what you want me to be" new work by Sarah Roberts

I am sitting here looking at the Facebook invite (https://www.facebook.com/events/475577922569275/?ref=22) for Sarah’s upcoming show here at Clamp Light on April 11, and am struck by amalgamation of materials that go into her pieces. The reconfiguration of found materials, held together with simple string and knot work allows the viewer to construct their own narratives, between past and present, person and evidence, and most assuredly between artist and viewer. The work is about communication between memory and self, driving us to be introspective. Sarah speaks about this site-specific installation in terms of creating a womb-like space for the viewer; this expresses to the desire within many of us (speaking for myself at least) to limit the overwhelming sensory input, which we experience on a minute-by-minute, hour-by-hour basis. I look forward to seeing where she is going with these ideas and can’t wait for April 11^th.

See you there, 

Tom
