ABOUT THE ARTIST:

''The drawings of Pauline Wood are itching to spring to life. With thick strokes and free curves, her figures generally burst into flight...the doubling and stretching of the human into its Siamese double recalls animator George Plimpton’s fanciful metamorphoses. In Wood’s austere but expressive world, nothing is ever at rest.'' Chris J. Magyar, Good Times Supplement, Santa Cruz, May 2007 (www.gtweekly.com/good-times/the-need-2)
