"Extraordinary... Fitzpatrick's Chicago is as soulful and magical as it is gritty and bruising, with a heart as big as its shoulders... an unusually dense, sorrowful, electrifying work of art." -Chicago Sun-Times
"Vivid in every detail, these works bring to mind all sorts of pieced-together mediums beyond collage... Compressing several forms of expression within their limited borders, they remind us that when the world created is complete enough, originality is beside the point." -The New York Times
