Roger Clarke

My work encompasses sculpture, installation, sound, video and photography.

Since I completed my undergraduate degree my work has developed from installations that were an investigation in to a space or place to large molecular sculpture and, most recently, large scale sculptures that can be rolled or spun.

With the benefit of a year long Henry Moore Sculpture Fellowship at Winchester School of Art, I created a series of sculptures that were fabricated in steel, aluminium and predominantly perforated steel. These geometric forms sat securely on the floor or wall but shimmered as the viewer went past due to the moiré effect of the perforations. From 1996, I introduced bands of colour into my work to encourage the viewer’s eyes to travel along the sculptures.

The series of molecular sculptures, whilst based on existing molecular structures, are not presented as scientific models but can be viewed instead as anthropomorphs with many of the characteristics of Japanese anime figures.
