Response to the "Me and My Kids" Posters
They are powerful . . . the spare, terse format voiced the immensity of coming to grips with a delusion. The impact is clear and profound without being off-putting (maudlin, dramatic, demeaning, or pitiful). The treatment description is matter-of-fact and very manageable. without ever having had the experience - I was the woman speaking . . . the affect is clear. Thank you for the work your team is doing and thank you for sharing the material with the women Transitions serves. ~Carlene Schwab, Transitions Administration, Spokane, WA
Response to the video "Evoking Experience"
This meth project is amazing. Very powerful; very moving. I can't understand their needs or desires but I can feel what they must need from the drug. The images are at once jarring and pleasing . . . complicated and fuzzy . . . vibrant and painful . . . Wow! This really encloses the viewer in an embrace of the agony and the ecstasy of meth. It truly brought tears to my eyes . . . an addict's need for the abstract experience as reality . . . because it is obvious that reality is just too hard for them. I'm really impressed. ~ Anna Maria Shannon, Associate Director, Washington State University Museum of Art
