ABOUT 'ASCENSION VARIATIONS'
“Ascension Variations is a magical adventure
woven from grand and pedestrian touches, and
in the end the space itself is the star —
or Ms. Monk's transformation of it.
For an hour, we've lived in a spiral,
where up is down and down is up.
It's a sacred place.”
— Gia Kourlas, The New York Times , March 6, 2009
