Dawn Clements (1958–2018) was an artist based in Brooklyn. Her paintings and drawings captured her
immediate surroundings as well as architectural interiors from films. She created fragmented narratives and
panoramic tableaus by gluing together multiple paper panels. In the artist’s words: “I explore intersections
where the objective and subjective, truth and fiction, rational and emotive meet. In some works, I paint/draw
a continuous space that passes from inside the studio and out into the landscape. Playing with processes
involving interruption, cuts, skips, and extensions, I work to see how static images might express time passage
through gradual and abrupt shifts in perspective, light, palette, mark, and gesture.” (2017)
