“Her breadth of temporality, technique and geography allow her work to be rendered as capacious and palpable to many, yet deeply distinct and tethered to particular places and times. In Clark’s visual grammar, the metaphoric and literal are quilted, and quotidian material is alchemized into perfect memory of the personal historical.”

“This issue marks a transition in BlackFlash’s 40-year publishing history. Our fall 2023 issue is the last commissioned by our former managing editor Maxine Proctor in collaboration with our editorial committee. It is also (as transitions go) the first produced in collaboration with our new managing editor, Jasmin Fookes.”
