Writing in The Guardian (March 30th, 2012), in her article “Prunella Clough and the art of ‘saying a small thing edgily’” , Frances Spalding, a Consulting Editor for Interlitq, states that, “Clough, like Léger, was unusual in her attention to aspects of urban and industrial life that are mostly overlooked – if not deliberately ignored. She looked at things that bear the residue of use, are blighted by time or fallen into desuetude. Long before the term ‘edgelands’ was coined, she was familiar with those areas where housing estates or factories peter out and the borders between urban and rural are renegotiated, infringed or forgotten”
