Her most sophisticated and novelistic anagrammatic work..
*The Paris Review*
These are turns of phrase that want to be read aloud, that ask to
be held by the tongue and thrown against the teeth. As utterances,
they might resound like the Bible’s trumpets of Jericho, felling
impenetrable walls and bringing new meaning into the violent
breach.
*Artforum*
The variety of images in Zürn’s writing is astounding, but her
drawings are strict black lines: abstract amorphous beings like
teratomas with human or animal characteristics. Zürn’s drawings
were billed as “automatic” work from the depths of the unconscious
and, like her writing, the series of seemingly unrelated scenes and
fantasies in Trumpets above all convey movement. The book plays
with the contrast between chance and pattern.
