"Rackham's wierd
and wonderful repertoire of materials.. is deliberately disturbing
and controversial. She plays on the fact that people are drawn to
mirrors and then confronts thier vanity through the use of tarted
up found junk and dead animal fur"
Felicity Fenner - A Change of
Culture
The Good Life, January 1991.
- "Melinda Rackham
is an artist whose work encompasses all aspects of the sensual....
the banal becomes the exotic as rackham creates another world...where
the viewer is confronted with the contradiction of attraction and
repulsion for these ultimately feminine objects of art."
Dian Lloyd - Alius Aliud
Dissonance, The Performance Space, July 1991.
