Interview with a bug artist

Mark Frauenfelder 2:31 pm Thu Nov 18, 2010

Cerentha Harris of Herman Miller's Lifework blog interviewed artist Kevin Clarke about his San Francisco workspace.

How long have you worked from home? And where is home?

I am in insect artist making traditional and non-traditional insect and natural history displays. I have worked in my current San Francisco studio for the last 2 years, and the “Bug Room” resides in an old 2-bedroom apartment built a year after the 1906 earthquake.

Describe your style? How would you define your aesthetic?

A Cabinet of Curiosities meets modern museum. I love mixing and linking detailed cultural objects (money, maps and stamps) with natural history. An aesthetic I am fond of is apothecary and industrial looks – I am fascinated with scientific and industrial instruments.

Inspiration: Artist Kevin Clarke
