Quote:
"Using the Hebraic reading of the 23rd psalm as a preface, [Joyce Wieland] achieves an iris effect with a rolled-up newspaper to isolate the images of birds shot in the early morning in her garden. Birds at Sunrise is again intensely direct and simple in its conception and consequently has a sad yet humanist warmth so rare in the avant-garde."
