What the reviewers say
“…it’s perhaps the rich detail of that real-life origin that makes The
Fantastic Life of Minnie Rubinski such an outstanding piece of work…”
Joyce McMillan, The Scotsman *****
“Vision Mechanics has sculpted a snapshot of life – an immeasurably
powerful achievement. And they handle it with deft care and respect.”
Dominic Corr, Corr Blimey *****
“I can honestly say I’ve never seen anything quite like this before.”
Philip Caveney, Bouquets and Brickbats 4.4*
