TRIMMER is a minimalist, slow moving video portrait. In it Clark comically references the impact that Medical Cannabis has played in California’s economy, culture and subculture. As the piece progresses the pile of buds she’s trimmed grows.
“…an aesthetic of risk runs high throughout Clark’s oeuvre…”
—Jillian St. Jacques, Afterimage, The Journal of Media Arts and Cultural Criticism
“Set in austere, yet jewel-like environments, Clark embodies and employs the visual language of the fashion world to perform acts from the sacred to the mundane, creating moving video portraits iconographic of 21st-century California culture. The resultant pieces are sumptuously spare, raw and honest, wickedly humorous, and hold a powerful intimacy, all emanating from this one-of-a-kind California Girl. ”
