She wants exactness. She wants little enough, and then even less, and she wants it with her whole aesthetic being. A poet of laconic eloquence, a minimalist with a vestigial love of the vivid, or better yet a diamond cutter eager to forgo carat weight for clarity and exquisiteness, she chisels her rough subjects down to premium round brilliants. Hold them to the light, turn them, and admire. ­—Stephen Yenser
