"...
From a distance, the piece follows the irregular
contours of the gallery wall, whose idiosyncratic
bulges and crevices call to mind a grotto. The work
undercuts any rigid separation between figure and
ground, a bit like a ritualistic cave painting...,
More over, there is an intriguing disequilibrium
between the more intimate and distant views in relation
to Liu's sculpture. When the spectator comes in close,
he or she hits upon shapes that trigger idiosyncratic
projections. Some of the conglomerations of plaster
are crystalline, or brittle like fossils. Others
are voluptuous like portions of the human body. As
the viewer attends to such details, a sense of the
whole is both jettisoned and strangely present in
the encounter." — Guggenheisman Guide,
