Quotes from others about the person
Lucy Lippard: "…A dazzling demonstration of the ways beauty (via inventive art and photography) can illuminate the earth’s most crucial issues, offering hope for a different world than the one we are barging into."
William L. Fox: "Meridel Rubenstein is a photographer whose domain includes sculpture, landscape design, architecture, and earth systems science. She does not merely document the world, but seeks to save it."
Terry Tempest Williams: "Your images break my heart wide open, especially now in these shadowed days of war. Your pictures are bows to peace and a realignment of how we view history, even our own."
Rebecca Solnit: "A consummate maker of metaphors, an artist who can never talk about only one thing at a time, but speaks of things in relationship, of lives to landscapes, of corporeal location and homing in terms of labyrinths and minotaurs, of bombs in terms of other myths, of physicists in relationship to pueblos."
