George Eastman House• “classical garden/cultivated landscape…For her these places represent a
human desire to find, amid the chaos of the environment, a reasoned order and a mathematical beauty of natural form. Building upon this approach, she turns her garden views into romanticized settings with a nostalgic look to the past…sophisticated printing technique, use of greenish sepia-toned paper…filters negative during enlargement (giving it a) blurred softened detail.”
-from notes by Therese Mulligan, 12/1999
