Trillion Clarke was raised in New York's Soho art district and continues the post-pop tradition of her predecessors. Having studied painting in New York, Arizona, and London, she implements an array of techniques, tempered skills, and conceptual sensibilities to investigate her own ambivalence towards pleasures of contemporary American life. Clarke's work addresses a critical reaction to designated means of happiness which she feels are limited to unfulfilling spectatorship. These anonymous subjects include shopping malls, television broadcasts, alcohol consumption, violent films, and vacation desinations that she sees as stages for her personal struggle with coming to terms with escapism. She achieves this through combining flatness and depth, using a muted palette to render scenes in a deliniated yet loose style. However low in contrast and intensity, the subdued colors capture light elegantly . This describes a relationship between photographic accuracy and linear abstraction to suggest a perspective of both beauty and irreverence.
