Clough took inspiration from many sources and the cellular forms of Bypass 1 could be read as a microscopic cross-section of an organism. Alternatively, it might have a basis in technical diagrams and machine parts which fascinated her at this time. But given the absence of a defined scale in the work, it could also suggest an aerial perspective of a landscape or a map of a large expanse. Clough’s concern was, as she put it, to see the world “as if it were strange and unfamiliar”.
