"The streets are full of admirable craftsmen, but so few practical dreamers." - Man Ray "Hoolboom has...enriched the potential for understanding this medium - in particular the work of these artists - by engaging in conversations with them that sound as if they were lifted out of the notebook of a wise psychoanalyst. The interviewer asks intelligent questions, but doesn't impose himself on the subject. There is an implicit trust and freedom between author and interviewee, which releases the words and ideas off the page and into the reader's imagination." - The Globe and Mail"
