"One of Blair's greatest assets is her sense of rhythm...The
rhythm generated can be the digital pulse of the photocopier, scanner and bar
code, or the notation for contemporary techno or drum n' bass music. This strength
of regular rhythm creates a bass(or indeed a booming bass) for the organic gesture
and celebratory funky color-Blair's melody.
Like a dance party or the noises of facsimile and the internet, you not only
hear it you feel it.
Blair's lines of richly applied paint shake as if the technology of humans is
being threatened by natural force.
The geographical reference is there again, the vibrations moving across the
canvas like those recorded on a seismograph of fault lines around the Pacific's
Ring of Fire, from the San Andreas Fault to New Zealand."
