“What confident trespassers, the works of Frances Trombly. Sculptures, weavings, installations—they meander into all sorts of territory, straddling genre lines and tunneling through hierarchical divides. They make a quietly defiant case for the complex richness of multiplicity, simultaneity.” —Leah Ollman, Los Angeles Times.
