PRESS RELEASE:

Snapshot presents Snapshot 06: The Vulnerability of the Human Situation by India Clarke. Contemplating the relationship between mind and body through drawing, observation and painting, India’s work explores excesses of fragility and power. Informed by her own experiences, as well as artists such as Craigie Horsfield and Marlene Dumas, she transforms and distorts memory, themes of illness, and death into speculative fiction. As a result, creating an escapism by subverting expectations towards the absurd and surreal.
The current developments of this project (seen as works in progress) invites an audience to rethink their concepts of comfort and safety. India’s series of watercolour sketches depicting a China doll with a facial tumour explores this by playing with concepts of identity politics, and reflections of the self and body. Reinforcing the instability of the human condition, her sketches and research attempt to communicate the fear that comes along with the constant mutation of life and its events.
India is a current second-year student on the BA Fine Art course here at LJMU.
