“I thought this masterful and immersive feat of creativity exquisitely reflected, perhaps unintentionally, the stresses and strains of the creative moment. I found this work to be mesmerizing, uncompromising and thrilling throughout. It is hard to probe the intersection of the socially mundane and the fantastical, but this design somehow managed to do that. Stunning, really.”
