"The day after Trump won the the elections last November, Surdell purchased a survival ax. She unleashed her frustration and anger on lumber in flurry of cathartic rage. She stacked the wounded beams into dimensions that echoed her own body as physical manifestation of her pain and disappointment." - Jared Packard, Curator of (Re)Flex Space, 2017
