...York artist Heather Rowe has adapted ideas from the late Gordon Matta-Clark, who sawed entire houses into parts to expose their strange and poignant innards. Rowe builds her own wooden frameworks, embedded with shards of mirrors and bits of vagrant molding, that create memory mazes, which double as Minimalist sculpture...

And besides, Wong has ambitions that go beyond her computer's minimalist bleeps. She dreams of performing one day "with a full band and orchestra," rendering her work in nondigital form and living up to her stage name at last...
