‘Green’s installation doesn’t exist to serve as evidence of well-established narratives’

‘Fragments of improvized poetry came together and devoured one another’

‘She has such authority in her tangled daubs and streaks’

‘I love the sense of compulsion and joy present in this painting’

‘The fact that it was most likely made with recycled fabric touches me immensely’

‘I have learned from John that you don’t need to shout in order to make an impact’

‘When her mother died, she stopped talking. What is there to say when all is lost?’

‘Hesse was an adventurer and brave with her materials’

‘Kahlo’s dresses, corsets and shoes took on the shapes of her love, pain and identity, still palpable 58 years after her death’

‘Truitt’s sculptures add depth and dimension to minimalist shapes and monochrome surfaces’
