in today's Montreal Gazette, the Culture section (E) page 8, "Visual Arts". Oh + did I mention I was mentioned? Henry Lehmann, the Gazette's art critic writes:" Edith Rey, in her lovely but pessimistic work, gently gets us where it most hurts, in the realization we all may ultimately lead more or less the same life. Rey's straightforward piece, titled While I was Waiting, simply uses the paper as paper to draw on; it depicts life's milestones. Translucent images of people seemingly fading from view and memory are capped with hand-printed captions: I Gave Birth to Two Girls and I Fell in Love." Thanks Henry...personally I thought "poignant", rather than "pessimistic"...but how you interpret art is personal, so there you go.
