From The Star Ledger, by Dan Bischoff
 

In the "Home Economics Suite" Alison Weld paints thick sensual abstractions that she pairs with panels of densely patterned or synthetically shaggy fabrics. Born in Kentucky and trained at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago and the Wolverhampton College of Art in England, Weld is a big painter in defiance of fashion; she is someone who wants to live large and you have to hand her her ambition . . .

Moving your eyes from her brimming brushwork to the petroleum-spun sheen of her fabrics is a bit like licking the chocolate off a sour ball . . . and is in a poetic way a very common American experience.
