Excerpt from a Review by Tania Ralli,
an Editor for ArtNews and Writer for the New York Times, Boston Globe, Chicago Tribune, and the Metropolis Chicago Journal:
"Yumiko Irei-Gokce's work, entitled; 'Muryouji , an alter space' is a large installation of color prints, ink drawings, hanging fabric, and 840 pounds of salt. Most of the works on paper hang against a back wall, and the two open sides of the space are hung with vertical panels of sheer white fabric. The fabrics works to enclose the area, creating an intimate space but also focusing the eye on the hanging prints." (continued)
