"...When officials at this year's Philadelphia Museum of Art Craft Show selected masks as the
competition theme for the Bernie Robbins Memorial award for Artistic Expression, they expected whimsical,
magical pieces that would tie in with the weekend's Hallowe'en celebration... However, Jaclyn
Davidson was moved by much more serious ghosts, and she captured this year's prize. Davidson's
untitled sculpture in bronze, brass and sterling silver is a powerful statement about the inhumanity
that held sway in the Holocaust and continues today in places like Rwanda and Kosovo."
-Wendy Univer, The Philadelphia Inquirer, Oct. 30, 1998.
