The New York Times, SINce My Last Confession, Sculpture with a Message
"...For all their brimstone and fire messages the works are elegant, imaginative, rather medieval and fascinating."
Owen McNally, The Hartford Courant, ARTS/ENTERTAINMENT
"Real Art Ways' No England/No Amsterdam II is a kaleidoscopic celebration of contemporary art. It's a themeless, even helter-skelter but bold exhibition loaded with visual variety popping out of 225 works by 58 artists from throughout New England and New York state. Barbara Scavotto-Earley is a sculptor with a deft hand and nimble wit who mixes the amusing and the Gothic in Gluttony, from her SINce My Last confession series - which has been nicknamed Cake Boy - looks like a bewhiskered medieval monk who's gone to seed from perhaps too much time in the desert. But it's desserts, not deserts that have transformed this junk-food addict, this weak clay vessel into an obese, bowling-pin shaped glutton...gorges himself on Scavotto-Earley's hilarious sculpted cakes and a taco. There's a glazed look in his eyes. His backpack is stuffed with enough fries, soda and goodies for a caloric orgy."
