“Goldring expands upon the triggering of Proustian memory through sensory experience, transforming it from a personal memory into a meta-historical structure; for in simultaneously going back into history and submerging herself in the signs of the collective conscious and unconscious, Goldring is able to translate the cryptic messages left behind by past incarnations of the Spirit thought by many to be reveries of imagination.” — Gerard Roger Denson, Poetic Injury
“ ‘Now we see through a glass darkly,’ the apostle Paul wrote in his first letter to the Corinthians, ‘but then face to face.’ Artist Nancy Goldring has looked into that dark glass, seen within herself and set those reflections down for the world to share.” — Camille Howell
“Transparent, fragile, on the edge of immateriality, they speak to the elusive, mutating function of an aide memoire in which photography can no longer be enlisted. Connections are lost in delicate layerings, photography becomes a perte de vue…a displacement of one kind of memory so as to make a space for others.” — Julia Ballerini
