score: a commonplace book, 2023
This accordion reads like a Fluxus score with the dark embers scattered across the sands creating both visual and musical scores. The delicate paper the piece is printed on further enhances the sense of ephemerality, while the shifting horizons keep your eyes sweeping across this panorama.
9 single-sided pages, individually 5.25" x 3.75" and when fully open 2ft 11.75".

a book of wonder: guiltily unburdened, 2023
At the beginning of this work Clarke-Davis declares, "Avowed champion of film and all things analogue caught with numeric imaging device!," and on the next page declares that "...the imaging device resembled a leica...". I'm assuming this means that instead of using a camera with traditional film he was now using a digital Leica camera. Either way, what follows is a photographic dérive of the outer suburbs from Manhatten interspersed with texts that suggest some kind of conspiracy on Clarke-Davis' part concluding with, "to hide his deception the images were to have been in black and white to further fool those with the authenticity of monochrome but now...the remaining time was spent between denial and justification...he refused to admit the pleasure had."
16 single-sided pages, individually 5.5" x 5.5", and when unfolded 7ft 4".
