„The work of Elaine Summers invites us to go beyond established categories or styles. It invites us to go beyond “secure” frames of perception. In fact, the very frame is deregulated, no longer a “safe” guided experience, but going beyond. […] Perception is liberated to flow where it will, guiding the way in the moment.“
