"Celli's installation stands garish and threatening, seeming at first to be an obvious comment on the politics of our time Considered more closely, the piece reveals the artist's concern with aesthetics and the assignation of "values and morals" to art."

"Danielle's present work revolves aroun the same image. This image is repeated hundreds of times, row upon row, hand-drawn on paper, then placed behind silicone or plastic . The work is personal but it is not oblique. The rows of fogures suggest continuum; time passing and generation following generation. playful use of materials and thoughtful construction combine to produce objects that are unique and beautiful."

"Imagine seven giant flightless birds, like emus made out of straw and chicken wire, with foot-long shocks of straw shooting out ffrom their heads like punk haircuts.... run a sinuous, graceful river of eggshells diagonally across a popcorn beach......a three-minute looped tape of drums and screetching violins that Catherine characterizes as "the sound of thos birds talking and singing."

"...figures drawn by seven-year-old Ingrid Gerberick and reprodouced as large paintings by her father, Vancouver artist Ken Gerberick. Viewers will have an opportunity to enter the imaginary world of a child who carefully observes personalities and styles, and to see thie slightly bizarre world enlarged to an easily assessible size. The impact of this unique exhibit is surprising."
