excerpt from Glenn Ligon's catalogue text for Wading Under a Crackling Sky, solo show at CUE Art Foundation, New York City 2007.
"Suffused with humor and melancholy her work reveals an interest in mythology, literature and alchemy as well as Las Vegas spectacles, the work of Yayoi Kusama, opera, and Renaissance painting. [...] But for all it's darkness - literal and metaphoric - Azoulay's work retains a sense of play, wonder, abandon and ultimately, lightness."
