"...The impact of Fox's art is total: either you see it not at all, or you see it through and through, to is center, to its heart beat. It has no ambiguity; it is black and white not only in color but also in concept; Fox installation are stark and pure, and leave no room for equivocation. Fox assault the viewer with this intensity, and viewer respond with equal intensity. Fox produces art which is as far removed from «art» as he can make it. He is not simulating reality so much as evoking the intensity of the experience of reality. The nature of art making and art looking is too far removed from reality for Fox, and when he sept up a piece, he wants his audience to relate it to something «more real» than art. He sept up a situation, for instance, whit objects, color, and sound so specifically referential to the experience of hospetalitazion that the viewer must recall his or her own experience of hospetalitazion, or perhaps long suppressed feelings equivalent to those we relate to hospetalitazion - sense deprivation, claustrophobia, helplessness, anonymity, fear, discomfort or plain, boredom, loneliness, anxiety, isolation..."
