excerpt from Joseph R. Wolin's brochure text for Fire Tale, solo show at Four Gallery / The Lab in Dublin, Ireland, 2007.
..."Flames in other works comprise small pennants of fabric blown by a fan, their minatory quality the result of lighting and a suspension of disbelief. Azoulay creates her images from the most prosaic of materials and the most transparent of effects. Their homey charm and plainspoken theatricality seem not so unlike that of a school pageant [...] But Azoulay's craft (and I use the word advisedly) does nothing to diminish either the resonance or the potency of her work. It succeeds because of, rather than in spite of, the coexistence of its gravely learned ends and its unpretentiously ingenuous means."
