Linda Day Clark is a photographer, professor, and curator noted for capturing everyday life in African American rural and urban environments, particularly in Gee's Bend.[1][2] Her work has been shown in the Philadelphia Museum of Art,[3] the Brooklyn Museum of Art, The Lehman College, the Studio Museum in Harlem, and The Smithsonian's Anacostia Community Museum.[4][5][6]
Early life and education
[edit]Day Clark moved to Maryland when she was 8 years old. She received her Associate of Arts from Howard Community College, a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the Maryland Institute College of Art in 1994, and a Masters of Fine Art from the University of Delaware in 1996.[7][8]
Career
[edit]Day Clark was a program associate at the Baltimore Museum of Art until 1998, when left to become a professor of photography at Coppin State University.[7][9]
In 2002, the New York Times gave Linda Day Clark an assignment to photograph the women quilters of Gee's Bend, a small town southwest of Selma, Alabama, "capturing the red clay soil, laid bare in a dirt road, so rich in color that it seems digitally tweaked but also linked to the rich colors in the quilts."[10]
