Russo dissects perceptions of experience to that singular moment, after action and before judgment, when all scenarios are possible and morality has yet to settle...In the end it is Russo’s refusal to pander that compels the viewer.
-- Zane Fischer, Santa Fe Reporter, April 2008

-- Steven Tengler, collector, April 2008
