Clague’s Werke sind Verschmelzungen im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes: eine Aporie, als unauflösbarer innerer Widerspruch, der auf den Punkt bringt, was es bedeutet unsere trüben Wünsche sowohl abzulehnen, als auch sich mit ihnen zu verbinden. Vielleicht ist es wie die Dichterin Anne Waldman beschreibt, wenn sie während einer Feuer-Puja-Zeremonie den dunklen Geist Richard Nixons annimmt; um mehr Mitgefühl für die Welt zu erzeugen müssen wir neben den positiven auch die negativen Energien hereinlassen.
