Clippinger’s colorful work engenders a space where art, design, functionalism, and formalism meet a bit off the beaten path. Undefined by the arguably arbitrary fine art versus craft divide, and unrestricted to a singular medium, the artist’s brightly hued works let us loosen up. Improvisation guides all of the work in which repeated elements flip, turn, and shuffle in their rhythmic compositions.
