Kelly Clare is a multidisciplinary artist and poet based in Western Massachusetts. She recently received her MFA in Sculpture from the University of Iowa, where she explored the muddy confluence of digital, linguistic, and physical space. Her written work can be found in Second Factory, Tagvverk, New Delta Review, Pulpmouth, and Hobart. She was a resident at the Vermont Studio Center in 2019.
