Dawn Clements (1958–2018) was an American contemporary artist and educator. She was known for her large scale,panoramic drawings of interiors that were created with many different materials in a collage-style. Her primary mediums were sumi ink and ballpoint pen on small to large scale paper panels. In order to complete a drawing she cut and pasted paper,editing and expanding the composition to achieve the desired scale. Her completed drawings reveal her working process through the wrinkles and folds evident in the paper. She described her work as "a kind of visual diary of what [she] see[s],touch[es],and desire[s]. As I move between the mundane empirical spaces of my apartment and studio,and the glamorous fictions of movies,apparently seamless environments are disturbed through ever-shifting points of view."
