Clarke is an award-winning artist known for his innovative use of braille as an artistic medium. By using a singular technique of embossing braille dots onto paper and other materials to create striking visual artworks that also incorporate texture and touch. His art challenges perceptions of what visual art can be and pushes the boundaries of accessibility.
Following his critically acclaimed debut solo exhibition, ‘The Power of Touch,’ in early 2023, ‘5 Degrees of Vision,’ features all new works that offer Reynolds’ signature exploration of light, shadow, and the relationship between the visual and the tactile. The exhibition takes its name from Reynolds’ limited residual vision, which allows him to perceive changes in light and shadow, enabling a unique artistic perspective.
“As a blind artist, I have a very different relationship with visual perception that informs my work in interesting ways,” says Reynolds. “I aim to create art that can be appreciated by all, regardless of one’s ability to see. My braille embossing is a bridge between the visual and the tactile, allowing anyone to have an enriching experience of my art through touch or sight or both.” – Clarke Reynolds
