“[Clare Strand] describes her working method as being like “rolling in the grass and seeing what you pick up on your jumper.” Strand’s constantly evolving practice brings together intensive research, deadpan humour and insights into popular culture, shifting from the mysterious and the absurd to understanding public obsessions, often via trickery and manipulation. Recent exhibited work includes machines to encourage entropy, web programs, looped films and intricate photographic constructions focusing on, subverting, reimagining and manipulating the medium’s origins.”
