” Extraordinary! In Amy Greenfield’s Dervish, a nude woman whirled continuously till exhausted#the only sounds were the motion of her feet, the rustle and flap of drapery, and the increasingly labored rhythm of her breathing. Images were superimposed and dramatic patterns of light and form appeared with repeated close-ups of her body.”
– Carol Zemel, Arts Canada.
