'Life' developed as the third of a series of paintings on death, transition and rebirth. Physically, this work represents an embryo attached to the umbilical cord and spiritually, the beginnings of a new life waiting to be born.

Clark's paintings evolve using washes 'dripped' over the surface, whilst she watches and waits for the interaction between the colours, paints, texture and medium upon which she is working, to reach the final image.

She works with canvas, textiles and paper, and by adding and taking away layers. By mixing colours on the surface, she creates textures of thick and thin paint using a palette knife, sponges and brushes.
