"While the five constructions in the show seemed at first well behaved, a closer look at each one - and a quick glance beneath it- revealed a substantially messier side. (...)

"That the floor itself - tiled in sheets of dull brown board- is also a creation of VanDyke's augments the impression of a subtly holistic approach (the press release characterized the gallery as a "container" rather than simply as a room"

"The resultant contrast is at once awkward, lovely, and -of all things- painterly. A solitary photograph, which shares its title with the show, hung on its own in the back office but was visible through the door. Depicting a paint-filled glove, it acted as a kind of nonverbal signature, a tongue-in-cheek acknowledgement of the artist's role as part originator of these spelendidly discordant experiments."
