Orbital Connector
"It is a complex work that celebrates all of the national and ethnic groups in the housing complex. The sculpture consists of a series of rings that have the names of cities in China, the Caribbean, Europe and the United States identifying the origin of the people in the area." - Joan Shephard, Daily News [clipping]

Orbital Connector
"John Wang of the Chinatown Planning Council described ORBITAL CONNECTOR as 'symbolic of our hopes for the democratic movement in China'. Hearing their comments and seeing the delight of the residents on the dedication day made the years of tenants' meetings, community board and government approvals and innumerable fund-raising activities worth the effort." - New York City Housing Authority, Architecture and Urbanism [clipping]

Spirit House
"Visitors entering the Spirit House will feel a specific vibration, its airy design was intended as an environment where one can unwind." - Merle English, News Day [clipping]

Singing Rock Sitting Place
"As previous exhibitions in this series have shown, it isn't easy to achieve the proper equilibrium between sculpture and landscape. It isn't simply a matter of scale, color or materials, it's more a matter of attitude, of being sensitive to the nuances of the site and choosing an appropriate way to enhance that site without effacing its essential character. A New York artist who calls herself Hera has accomplished this in a secluded and unlikely setting by using a storm-water drainpipe set into a steep hillside in the southeast corner of the arboretum." - Edward J. Sozanski, The Philadelphia Inquirer [clipping]

Meditative Spaces
"These works combine a number of qualities: meditative space, nostalgic allusions to formal 19th-Century garden arbors, the pure pleasure of being outdoors, and the serenity of formal geometry. They are not just to gaze at, but to walk through, stand in, climb on, smell, touch, and - if only metaphorically - to inhabit." - Joanna Wissinger, Progressive Architecture [clipping]

Niagara-Knossos-Carranza Connector
"The physical participation of the viewers by their entry and ascent into the Connector was designed to create a vital and lasting response to the concept of global connectedness which the film presented." - excerpt from the ArtPark '82 catalog, Architecture and Urbanism [clipping]

Vaulted Arbor
"The steel brings to mind the ribs of a Romanesque and a Gothic vault and has the feeling of a religious edifice waiting to be built." - Michael Brenson, New York Times [clipping]
