“Ascender composes an original visual idiom when intermixing those. Because the art form included contemporary icons and symbols from its inception, composition and organization have taken on extra creative value — and the artist discovered her own language while maximally exploiting it. The result is a series of captivating works of art….”
“Universally captivating… her collages show an intuitive understanding. There are faces, mostly female and attractive, that constitute the visual framework of the each piece. The viewer is being lured into the world of a particular collage by a scientific proxy, only later to realize that the temptress has a particular artistic meaning… ”
“Additional recurring motifs include masks and religious sculptural inlays. The sum of these elements creates a whirlwind of subconscious impacts, most of which, I personally find difficult to isolate and define — and this is the part of the appeal of the viewing and interpreting experience. It’s like taking a plunge into an oozy river, or, just sticking one’s toes in it — depending on the viewers’ commitment. (more Jacquelyn Berl; Collages at Art&Critique)
