"Terrain / 4 Directions is one of Mary Farrell’s largest and most intricate pieces featuring her iconic portrayal of hands. Reduction woodcut is a notoriously complex technique that requires a great deal of planning. And yet, Farrell conveys a sense of fluid immediacy with the sensitive and sketch-like quality of the forearms and hands. They dance together with strength, grace, and perpetual motion, while the background texture calls to mind both fingerprints and rippling water. Like fish gathered together and circling in a whirlpool, the hands engage in an animated, yet unspoken conversation. I see their vibrant, intertwined outlines as a representation of the vitality and connectedness of all living things."

"Zha Sai’s technical prowess on this reduction woodcut makes my mouth water. The registration of each printed layer of ink is flawlessly executed, helping add to the photographic nature of this piece. Sai slowly reduces the woodblock after printing each layer, to reveal more and more of previously printed layers, while simultaneously adding smaller and smaller areas of ink on top. Technique aside, Fragmentary Shadow 1 brings a moment of peace and meditation to the viewer that goes beyond what a photograph could hope to offer."
