"The pictures' loose correspondence with sheer rock faces and overhanging ledges, with knots and crags, was evident, as though their author... had been crawling all over the surface, corner to corner, diagramming routes up, across and back to the middle, to the coveted heart. They were theatrical, neurotic and playful, all washy and muted with vertical and horizontal smears, buzzy and energetic; private, giddy, conversant, subtle poems authored by a methodical New York psyche, someone who enjoys doing the same thing over and over and over again, searching for miracles in subtle variations." - Benjamin Weissman ("Eloquent Obstacles," Frieze Magazine, issue 111, November - December 2007)
