"I had been living and working in the region for almost a decade, and in Turkey itself for more than four years. I was drawn by ideas of borders and belonging. One enduring image that had always struck me wherever I travelled was the schoolgirls in their little blue dresses, the same in every town, city or village."

Untitled, 2007
"Right now Hilary Harnischfeger’s intriguingly intricate yet powerfully physical paintings are showing. Or maybe they’re bas-reliefs: Harnischfeger layers paper and carves it up, creating works that are at once sculptural, geological, and psychological. It’s like seeing where mosaic, stone carving, landscape painting, watercolor, and microscopic life come together."
