‘Clemmetts work is relevant culturally, socially and politically, it allows the viewer to explore death and renewal, of the environment, the object and the self. What remains II encourages contemplation of life, our treatment of life and promotes an inquiry of history, preservation and consumerism’. Zoë Tier man
‘Dans work is unpretentious and his approach is pragmatic as well as poetic, His work is not bound by traditional themes or divisions between labels such as abstract or figurative, fact or phantasies and includes contemporising myth and the use of recycled materials’ Ken Newlan Dip AD ATC curator Montgomery sculpture trust.
