Through the innovative juxtaposition of printed text, graphics, step printing, and disintegrating soundtrack, Gruben constructs a narrative breakdown that parallels the unconscious patterning of her character's mind." - Richard Stanford, National Gallery of Canada.
"We are powerfully imprisoned by the terms in which we have been conducted to think.” - R. Buckminster Fuller.
