Clark fell in love with stained glass while still at primary school. Later, having absorbed London’s “punk” aesthetic, he produced secular glasswork using vivid blocks of colour on a large scale. Technically innovative in his use of sheet glass, he worked with many “starchitects” on shopping centers, airports, office buildings and religious buildings. He has never been given a public gallery show and “there is no obvious heir to his ambitious genius”. Another obit is here.
