“What I felt was a sense of voyeurism into the subconscious mind of not only the artist, but the intergenerational trauma of the artist’s ancestors. It is messy, in parts it is ugly. In parts it is surprising in its brokenness, it’s seeming haphazardness, and yet, the marriage of experimental video collage with the visual collage of the ceramic installations laced with found objects work together in a unify the whole.”
