Reviews of Lettuce<\/em>, Thesis Exhibition<\/strong>
\nAidekman Arts Center, Tufts University, Medford, Massachusetts, 2006<\/p>\n

“The experience of observing visitors interact with her installation was a memorable one. Lettuce succeeds as an aesthetic object that provokes a series of questions surrounding contemporary and historical ecology, the sense of taste, and our role as consumers in the fullest sense.”<\/em>
\nMeghan Hughes, Professor of Visual and Critical Studies, Tufts University<\/p>\n

“Director Werner Herzog often comments both in interviews and his works on how modern living conditions, including capitalism, impoverish lived experience. In response to similar impulses, Leah works with rare and endangered agricultural plant species\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 By inviting the viewer to have a very rare culinary experience based in the richness of biodiversity, once commonplace and now endangered by industrial practices, she is directly speaking to the impoverishing influence of modernization.”<\/em>
\nPatte Loper, Artist and Professor of Painting, School of the Museum of Fine Arts Boston<\/p>\n

“At a time when we need imaginative ways to capture the interest and attention of the public to make change to protect natural resources and the environment, Leah’s work is all the more relevant. She is pushing visual language, social messaging and art history with her work.”<\/em>
\nDavid Cabrera, Artist and Professor of Contemporary Art, School of the Museum of Fine Arts Boston<\/p>\n
