[4] Shauna Snow writing in the Los Angeles Times described Myers' "Rift Rise" as "a meditation upon destructive force that incorporates video monitors, music, live trees and mixed media constructions into a confrontation of landscapes".

[5] Cathy Curtis in the same newspaper added that "images of destruction (fire, charred tree branches) and renewal (rushing water, green leaves) play on both sides of opposing banks of monitors, one made of sharp-edged black slabs, the other covered with live birch trees.

"[6] Also in the Los Angeles Times, "The Allure of the Concentric" was described as having "four monitors amid large volcanic rocks show close-up views of leaves and weeds, dry cracked ground and the silhouette of stark tree trunks against sky.

"[8] Helen A. Harrison in The New York Times described "In the Planet of the Eye" as "a severe structure of Gothic arched steel, metal and wire mesh frames two distorted chairs.

Slits of natural light provide restricted illumination, and attention is focused on a video monitor, suspended from the ceiling, on which a spinning gyroscope is juxtaposed with revolving views of a desert landscape.
