New occasions teach new duties; Time makes ancient good uncouth;
They must upward still, and onward, who would keep abreast of Truth;
Lo, before us gleam her camp-fires! we ourselves must Pilgrims be,
Launch our Mayflower, and steer boldly through the desperate winter sea,
Nor attempt the Future’s portal with the Past’s blood-rusted key.

-James Russell Lowell, The Present Crisis

      Hi Allyce!

      I actually first saw your work on the cover of the Albion Review, and I think it’s wonderful! I am on the 2009 cover, and received a copy of this year’s publication. I wanted to see what the rest of your work looks like. I’m glad some traffic from my site is going your way, you deserve it! I enjoy your use of installation and materials with your subjects!

      Thank you for emailing, and for complimenting my website!

      Ashley
