Reviews:
“Di Cataldo has photographed images of old, decaying agricultural machinery in distortion, so as to produce lyrical patterns reminiscent of the visual and tactile experiences that their original use once invoked…
Di Cataldo has a fair grasp of the poetic potential of her imagery, in particular the ways in which some human remnant always clings to the forms of old equipment.”
