“Clooney’s works explore the inter-space of inside and out that the mouth encompasses: the point of entry and exit and in this way the sentry post of identity definition and dissolution. Clooney’s mouth is honeyed, conveying oral pleasure but also food as memory as the warmed liquid lingers on the tongue and in the mind.”
“Contemporarily Clooney’s piece underlines the importance of food in constructions of memory, self and the engendering of pleasure.”
