Lommasson's eye treads lightly, presenting the items without artistic comment, yet imbuing each with tactile depth via low-grazing light that tempts viewers to reach out and touch. -- R. Daniel Foster Los Angeles Times Jim Lommasson does not take his cameras to combat zones; he does not heroicize battle or aestheticize carnage. He neither glorifies nor demeans patriotism. Instead, he brings to our attention the deadly, quiet, and long-lasting wounds that war visits upon its survivors and thus, upon all of humankind. -- Prudence Roberts Art Historian
