“Ford’s seductively painted version, however, offers a sly trap. Hidden in the lower portion of the composition, below the hand-written phrase “God’s Will Over Man,” is an inverted, pre-9/11 skyline of New York City that serves as a mirroring reflection-a struggle for the “Holy Land” re-personified for a new generation. This particular welcome to the 21st century is, indeed, quite a scary invitation.” Marcus Cain, Review

“…Spiegel im Spiegel (Mirror in the Mirror) by German Composer Arvo Part in a cyclical manner for an astounding four hours. Among all of the possible “attractions” in this carnival, the presence of these musicians caught in a haunting loop of performance was perhaps the most captivating and made the most use of absurdities that surrounded it. A wonderfully surreal moment was caught taking in their performance as young child danced around them with a small remote-controlled animal carcass chasing her throughout the thick fog.” Marcus Cain, Review
