REVIEWS:
"...in her latest work
area[code]...[Farr] juxtaposes timeless, postcard-perfect
images...told through beautiful scenery, clever, perceptive
visual links and small narrative reminders. The effect
is at once intoxicating and eyeopening, even humorous
at times. Farr, 28, is hardly a picture of the tortured
artist, she's more like a clever activist who has
a keen sense of how to get her message across."
