"The strategy that Sharon Lee Hart (Wake Forest) effectively employs in her two pieces - the show’s most interesting photo-based works - is a digital variation of photomontage. In The Spectators, she combines several different images to create a creepy, goggle-eyed mask with a manually subdued alligator emerging from its wide-open mouth.
Against the ominously dark backdrop of her panoramic Cut-to-Fit, fragments of printed text are superimposed on images of variously attired women posed with symbolically evocative objects, including a rifle, a barbell, a mirror and a fold-out fan".
