Clough has said, of his artwork, “What I like most about painting, all kinds of painting, is that it ain’t what it looks like. Not that it’s simply an illusion. I like the contradiction, that my things can have an old master look, the look of Abstract Expressionism and a look of shiny smoothness. I like those paradoxes—flatness and its opposite, the way the photo reveals and the paint conceals. Shuffling and reshuffling, then adding another deck and reshuffling that.”

As of July, 2015 Clough established his studio, and the Clufffalo Institute, on the Roycroft Campus in East Aurora, New York, outside of Buffalo, New York.

In 1978, after segregating Hallwalls and Ashford Hollow Foundation, in 1978 after separating Hallwalls from Ashford Hollow Foundation, establishing its board of directors , and receiving its own 501-c3 classification, Clough returned to New York City to explore his artistic endeavors.
