Press release

The Seton Gallery at the University of New Haven is pleased to present a solo exhibition by Susan Clinard titled Turning Wheel. The exhibition is open Mar. 4 through Apr. 1 with a reception on Mar. 1 at 5 p.m.

Clinard's sculptures reflect her strong desire to honor nature's pure form. Whether sculpting from life in clay or carving wood, she strives to reveal nature's truths—the duality of chaos against perfect symmetry. Clinard's integration of found natural objects in her work brings about an organic simplification to the figurative elements. The work draws on and layers nature's puzzles with personal and political themes of inherently deep emotion.
