"(...)The theme is further accentuated in Minds Look Alike, in which a photograph
of Nadine gradually morphs into one of her mother at the same age, as one hears a recording
of her mother talking with an unknown man in what appears to be a therapy session. What
is interesting is the intermingling itself, how her mother’s voice becomes Nadine’s own, and
her way of expressing herself, of relating to the situation, becomes the story of how a space
becomes an entirely different space.
It is in the dimension of memory that the work receives its specific qualities, at
once disquieting and emotional. It becomes a meditation on the methods that sound art uses to
work with recorded material. At what point in sequential time is now really now, and not just
the shadow of a former event, a memory that is carried on and receives new meaning through
personal dialogue?"
