...shows here over the past 6 years. The two series presently on exhibit, "Folklore" and "Circus," justify the gallery's committment; Kieff proves himself a master of polished bronze. The "Folklore" works, like tales, sweep through time and space. Symbolic continuums of metal, they demand time to trace their complex curves and planes, yet unify their motion in abstract patterns which seem as natural, yet are as carefully structured, as plot elements in a folk tale (three brothers, wicked step-mothers). "Ciecus" is more subtly rooted in both reality and bronze. The forms play with composition and abstraction, juggling shapes...
...typically, with an echo and a shimmer of light musical phrases that remind you a bit of temple bells shivering in the wind. Then the percussion enters, muted yet enriching the sound, and finally the melody--simple and repetitive but constantly branching off in unexpected and spontaneous harmonies. You trace the saxophone's part much as you are drawn by a strand of gold in a piece of cloth. It glows and enriches the fabric and the fabric, (or musical backing) in turn, keeps the shimmer from ever becoming brassy...

Watkins also tries to tunnel into Munch's creative spirit, to watch him work and trace his themes of violent mortality and sexual betrayal to their psychic roots...
...clock commuter rush of the Chicago and North Western Station, Rosalynn Carter, rustling up votes for her husband, was confronted with a surly question: "Are you running for First Lady?" She looked the man in the eye and retorted, with a trace of defiance, "Yes!" She added, "There are so many things that need to be done in this country-so much in mental health, for the elderly. It excites me to think that I could help." The hostile questioner pressed her to justify why her promises had anything to do with JimmyCarter's campaign. "Because," she said evenly...
