"I paint not quite realist paintings using images from photographs. I am interested in representing late twentieth century America through figures and landscape; rural, urban and suburban. I use images from the media rather than working from life because as an American I tend to experience the world, not directly, but through the media. I distort scale and mix environments to contrive my own private view. Painted almost photo-realistically, my work has both a seduction and a harshness in the clarity, a facade of the real; yet in the distortion something unsettling prevails. I want my paintings to have the same sense of popular media of today: the visual and narrative of film, the everyday-ness of television, the stereotypes of the press and privateness of the novels."
Margaret Clark, November 1999
