"… a Venus de Milo-like figure in a flowing dress on the front layer, surrounded by pouty lips; the second layer of fabric provides additional lace insets and a darker, ghostly outline for the womanly shape; the third layer completes the illusion, providing an opaque background that appears smoky." "The piece’s demeanor is sarcastic … But the overall presentation is elegant, making it one of the more unusual works [in the exhibit]." —Cindi Morrison, executive director, Lancaster Museum of Art.
