“Fundamental to the Baroque as a historical style was the invention of a new kind of space in which the clear distinctions between the perceived space of the work of art and the real space of the viewer broke down. This characteristic also unites all of the work of Robert Morris, Hope Sandrow, Frank Stella, James Turrell. The art of seventeenth-century Rome succeeded in breaking through the picture plane sin order to encompass the space of the viewer. In her recent photographs, extreme shooting angles create a strong sense of compositional dynamism, in which figures appear to tumble backward into, or push forward from deep spaces. The photographs in this exhibition are from a series shot at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, in which the possibilities suggested by that building’s architectural and temporal juxtapositions, further add to our sense of dislocation. She achieves, in fact, a mingling of realities consistent with her allegorical themes of innocence, knowledge, and desire.”

— Phyllis Rosenzweig, Hirshhorn Biennial: Toward the Baroque, 1986
