When I read reviews of my work I'm often disappointed, and, very occasionally, feel a bit like a misunderstood teenager. I've been exceptionally fortunate (only one review to pout over), but often find art writing laden with layers of academic verbosity and angled from fashion and the media-driven politics of the moment. Inevitably, the media dictates how criticism is formed. While critics, like artists, aren't immune to trends, I often feel that commentary on my work is a decoy for commentary on trends, rather than an assessment of my work's relevancy to those trends.
