Quotes from:
"navigare necesse est"catalog essay by Lise Patt, Los Angeles, 1991.Dillbohner's exploration of the past is not solely a personal Proustian exercise but one for everyone who has been circumscribed by civilization. .... her works are not politically or socially burdened. While suggestive of history's atrocities, they remain immensely forgiving of man's mistakes. In this simple way they do attest to Dillbohner's foreign birth, revealing what after more than two millenniums of historical pounding now take for granted - life springs from death, renewal from war, organization from disorder. |
