Lenka Clayton (born 1977 Cornwall, England) is a British-American conceptual artist and educator based in Pittsburgh.
Her work contemplates, exaggerates and defamiliarizes accepted rules and practices of everyday life, extending the ordinary to the poetic and absurd.
[3] Her materials are often culled from daily life and range from maps, letters, paper mail,[4] clothing and stones to objects pulled from her sons mouth.
[5] Her dedicated processes utilize unique systems and bizarre re-organizations, offering a world deconstructed, rearranged and freshly envisioned.
[6] Some exhibitions include the Carnegie Museum of Art in Pittsburgh, FRAC Le Plateau in Paris, Kunsthalle St. Gallen in Switzerland, Anthology Film Archives in New York City, and the Tehran International Documentary Festival in Iran.
