this is why we have Jon Anderson...

“Uretsky is interested in working with and responding to her materials. By working in conjunction with materials found typically in the home or in industry, Uretsky transforms the common, mundane materials of cultural use into uncommon forms and metaphors. She uses repetition and ritual to create abstract systematic sculptures that bear witness to the systems with which we organize our lives. Rather than illustrating particular memories, instead Uretsky’s work operates in a place similar to memory: her forms seem laden with histories, her materials seem to be markers of the ways that people have related to one another. The abstract forms she creates have the uncanny ability to be simultaneously familar and unrecognizable.”

my email back to him was just shy of: '...I...lov..should I give you money or something'?

Anyone have anything to add?
