“4 stars

…In many ways, this composition is an extension of Sheldon's recent work as a singer in which, in works such as Damien Ricketson's The Howling Girls, she has explored ways to make her voice more fully embodied in the subject of the drama and its expressive symbols. In this case there is a sense of continuum from the clay from which the work begins to the pure soprano sound she eventually achieves, like a pathway from the inanimate to the divine.” — Sydney Morning Herald
