Amy Ritchie Johnson, The Virtue of Dissent, ext. 1708, November 28, 2017

[T]he artists here are trafficking energetically in a language of dissent against (from within) common expectation and assumption, maybe even against the culturally and art school conditioned mind of the artist. Their effort ultimately brings a reinvigorated freedom of experience to the viewer, whose own mind pushes claustrophobically against “the box” all day long every day, and finds, in this exhibition, plenty of fresh undefined air.

Caroline Cobb Wright, Sarah Briland: Problematica, UrbanGlass, November 18, 2015
