"...how rhetorical the process is, how distanced and held apart from me you are.  I feel I should say something, ask a question, but I know I cannot break the trance you are in...but then I notice what I think I know you are writing about, is proved to be part fantasy or lie.  I feel like I am inspiring you, yet it is not really about me, or at least it is not more than a riddle or fantasy..."

"...seemingly opening up yet sitting most reservedly and very closed off.  It seemed rehearsed, but suggested possible spontaneity at times. The language suggested that it had been rehearsed but the execution; going back to change parts perhaps showed otherwise.  I found the small parts of the narrative within the piece quite personal yet still detached.  It puts you in a strange position as they read like private letters but it is you portraying them to us, the personal being most wantingly exploited."

Tom Duggan  - artist
