Given a general ternary form f=f(x1​,x2​,x3​) of degree 4 over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, we use the geometry of K3 surfaces and van den Bergh's correspondence between representations of the generalized Clifford algebra Cf​ associated to f and Ulrich bundles on the surface Xf​:=w4=f(x1​,x2​,x3​)⊆P3 to construct a positive-dimensional family of 8-dimensional irreducible representations of Cf​. The main part of our construction, which is of independent interest, uses recent work of Aprodu-Farkas on Green's Conjecture together with a result of Basili on complete intersection curves in P3 to produce simple Ulrich bundles of rank 2 on a smooth quartic surface X⊆P3 with determinant OX​(3). This implies that every smooth quartic surface in P3 is the zerolocus of a linear Pfaffian, strengthening a result of Beauville-Schreyer on general quartic surfaces.
