William ★★★★★

The way Denes ties science and art together in these essays feels decades ahead of its time, and the physical book itself has a sturdy, well-bound quality that makes it easy to flip back and forth between sections. I’ve already reread the opening chapter twice.

Emily ★★★★★

The essays here trace her shift from early conceptual pieces to the later ecological projects, and the reproductions of her drawings are sharp enough to study the hand-drawn grids. I’ve read other anthologies of artist writings, but this one actually gives you her full arguments, not just excerpts.

Ryan ★★★★★

Finally, a collection that does justice to Denes's blend of art and science—the essays are dense but rewarding, and the reproductions of her early land drawings made me stop and stare for a solid five minutes. I've been looking for something that captures her conceptual rigor without dumbing it down
