About the artist

Cathleen Clarke ’s paintings probe the fragmented workings of memory—why certain fleeting moments imprint vividly while others dissolve. Working intuitively, she lets forms surface and withdraw across the picture plane; figures feel faintly remembered, held together by the mutable materiality of oil paint. Starting from old photographs given to her by friends or family members that connect her present to the past, Clarke abstracts familiar subjects to describe thresholds, particularly those shaped by age or growth.
