In her review from Glass Quarterly<\/em> for Stinsmuehlen-Amend’s 2007 solo exhibition at D&A Fine Arts in Los Angeles, Annie Buckley writes about her recent work:<\/p>\n

“Words and images are frozen in place, suspended in the glass as
\nunmoving as an obsessive worry or a tune you can’t get out of your head. Whether a pop song or the memory of a whisper, Stinsmuehlen-Amend’s work functions like a visual soundtrack, mapping the unpredictable rhythms of thought.”<\/p>\n
