★★★★ The Scotsman

'Orkney-based Samantha Clark, last seen in the RSA's 'In Orcadia' after winning the organisation’s inaugural MacRobert Award, looks mainly at water. While her technique is detailed, meditative and time-consuming, her work...has intense focus and structural formality, looking down into the ocean depths, or across at horizon lines.

Clark works by laying down a fine hand-drawn grid pattern over deep colour, or covering a canvas with dense, repeating marks to suggest light, haar or waves. She often uses metal leaf and mica to create reflection or transluscence. Everything she does is carefully observed and processed in a considered, committed way...'
