Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts

Rising Sun artist, Lenka Clayton, will present an in-person gallery talk about her unforgettable  installation, "The True Story Of A Stone". Lenka Clayton is an interdisciplinary artist whose work exaggerates and alters the accepted rules of everyday life, extending the familiar into the realms of the poetic and absurd. Lenka will share insights into her artistic practice as well as tell the tale of a specific stone that around 2,000 years ago was carved into a classical sculpture of a Greek goddess. This complicated and nuanced story, written across the gallery walls in the Washington Foyer, ends in the unlikely form of a marble duck.
