  • "Liz Nielsen’s Folded Architecture series of photograms evokes built space through a medium that paradoxically requires no building. Here, interiority and exteriority blur, suggesting a perpetual folding of spatial dimensions that echoes Gilles Deleuze’s conception of the Baroque: a way of understanding existence as a fluid, interconnected process rather than a fixed essence."

  • "Looking closely, Nielsen’s prints sometimes reveal a subtle but crucial element: an atomized layer of 'visual snow' across the image. This speckled texture adds depth and dimension to a schema ostensibly defined by flatness."

  • "In this work, Nielsen achieves a different kind of folding, one that collapses the distinction between figure and ground, surface and depth. The geometric forms - triangle, rectangle, circle - become abstract signifiers of landscape elements, their relationships shifting and folding into one another."
