'Adeline André's work displays a truthfulness to materials, an eschewal of decoration, and a wealth of conceptual detail that could only have delighted the author of Ornament and Crime'(New York Times, 1986)
As André herself put it: "It’s the fabric itself that gives the structure — I’m not at all interested in twisting it out of shape or supporting it artificially. I like it when all that’s seen is all that’s there.”
