” A cavernous cubbyhole with a variety of enigmatic gunmetal stalagmites emerges from the relative monotony of the urban backdrop of St. John’s Place in Crown Heights.  Janet Goldner’s collection of sculptures, called Zigzags, populate FiveMyles’ exterior space, and while the viewer can enter this space through the gallery, the initial impression of jagged edges, pent-up energy, and the cold solidity of the welded metal objects makes one relieved there is a metal gate between us, the viewer, and them, the sculptures.

I had just seen a lecture on the archeological excavations in the Taş Tepeler region of Turkey, which includes sites like Göbekli Tepe and Karahantepe, human constructions from over ten thousand years ago, and most of those structures were similarly built from large monolithic elements firmly planted in the ground. Either by the creator’s intention or the vicissitudes of history, these ancient stone dolmens now have the characteristics, like Goldner’s, of looming sculptures rising out of the floor. …” William Corwin
