"...Tyler Clark Burke, local indie queen, illustrator, producer (she founded Three Gut Records), impresario (of her floating music/art/dance party, Santa Cruz), performance artist and writer, is currently exhibiting a delicately wrought passion play in glass called Shimera...You might expect, after all this self-ballyhooing that the cubes themselves might come off as sparkling little anti-climaxes. Not at all. Each of the Bear-filled, Trepanation Man'd cubes is an unfailing delight..."

CANADIAN ART / DAVID BALZER
"...Accordingly, [Shimera] is Burke's first major move away from her raw, gestural drawings, which always seemed like by-products of rowdy seances or exorcisms — ectoplasm on paper, if you will...One cannot overstate the spell cast by Shimera, a spell that seems at once entirely new and as old as dust..."

SALLY MCKAY
"...Shimera is better than Grizzly Man,...Tyler Clark Burke is all over this myth with her own delicate death wish..."

TERENCE DICK
"...Tyler Clark Burke's Shimera has given me hope at a time when I am starving for artistic epiphanies. From conception to realization, I can't find anything wrong with Burke's startling exhibition. I want everyone to see it so we can share in the delight..."
