The Last Missile Installation

Despard Gallery has represented Glen Clarke for over 15 years and is proud to present Clark’s 5th solo exhibition at the gallery. Clarke won the HCC Art Prize with a sculpture of Mt. Wellington using Weet-bix back in 1993 and have had many solo exhibitions national and international since. Glen Clarke’s collages and paintings are intricately constructed from delicately folded currency and precisely cut out images of wars machinery and military hardware. Each component is then assembled into a tapestry of the symbolism behind war from the artists perspective – each folded note, cut out plane, tanker, helicopter and ship tells a story of the profits and losses attributed to war.
