I came upon an interesting article this morning by Village Voice art critic Jerry Saltz. In this review focusing on Mike Kelley and Jon Kessler, Saltz takes a wider look at trends in the contemporary art world today, zeroing in on my cousin Phoebe:
Washburn is a combination termite-beaver-magpie; she's a builder who accumulates, creating, almost excreting anomalous architectures and bizarre artifices.
I think he has a crush.

The work is completely deserving of the praise, but it's so rare that you know somehow who is working genuinely and achieving such acclaim. Go phoeb! I mean Rhobus!
