Rayvenn D’Clark

Untitled (2016)

Rayvenn D’Clark challenges historical portrayals of Black anatomy by reconstructing the Black body with precision and dignity. This silicone sculpture emerges from a three-month process dedicated to capturing anatomical detail, nuance and presence. Untitled rejects abstraction used to dehumanise; instead, it asserts a new visual vocabulary grounded in authenticity. Through this act, D’Clark reclaims agency over representation, pushing against colonial narratives that sought to erase or distort Black identity. The sculpture is not only a physical form - it is a political statement and a demand to be seen in full. Each element speaks to strength, beauty and defiance.
