Catalogue Note

“She smashes down on little cut-out shapes, half-erased ideas, repetitive linear strikings, and sets up new relationships.  She invents dimension and position with changes of kinds of stroke, levels of intensity, starting and breaking momentum, and by redefining a sense of place from forces which are visible coefficients and energy.”  -- Valerie Peterson, review in ARTnews , May 1963
