▪     "Tom DeGroot is not true to his materials. He makes corrugated cardboard look like porcelain, spray paint and resin pooling in colored layers along irregular surfaces. There's a cool urban edge to his timeless elegance, and that's what gives it focus.
His work is about desire. No matter how long you look at it, it slides away from you."

-- Regina Hackett, Seattle Post Intelligencer
