Linda Day Clark

Linda Day Clark is a photographer noted for capturing everyday life in African American rural and urban environments. Her work has been shown in the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Brooklyn Museum of Art, The Lehman College, and the Studio Museum in Harlem.[1][2]

In 2002, the New York Times gave Linda Day Clark an assignment to photograph the women quilters of Gee's Bend, a small town southwest of Selma, Alabama, "capturing the red clay soil, laid bare in a dirt road, so rich in color that it seems digitally tweaked but also linked to the rich colors in the quilts."[3]
