"Clarke explores a specific theme the fleur-de-lis, landscapes, and seascapes, figurative studies, heraldry, splashes, and skulls as it has evolved into finished projects. The seventh volume is an index for the others and explores the large-scale artworks that result from Clarke's thematic meanderings. Including oil paintings, stained glass, and works in lead and mosaic, the index is, in Clarke's words, the -parts of the sum,- while the sketchbooks include works in various media, from drawing to collage, watercolor and photography."
