Stations: An Imagined Journey heralds a new vision in painting, one that thrusts through the contemporary fascination with the present to touch the past in a way that only paintings make real. Stations rips through the burden of cryptic critical theory that weighs on so many young painters and demonstrates that painting can narrate, reveal the intricacy of past context, and make antique into heirloom. It peers into the very heart of the present surfeit of visual imagery and sees the whole concatenation of things that comprise the built environment-things that most people don't notice anymore.
- John R. Stilgoe, American Art
