    "There is a golden-flecked moment where the line between being asleep and being awake is opaque and blurred; there is a distinct point when something is neither grotesque nor beautiful but both; there is an celestial flash where the worlds of pleasure and pain fuse together before falling apart again.

She captures these Jungian flashes and lets the audience erect their own, crystalline tales.

All and nothing is explained in the blink of an eye " - Allison
