"Abstract Expressionism is at the heart of Dina Wind’s art. The push/pull of Hans Hoffman, the crushed metals of John Chamberlain, the gesture and movement of Willem de Kooning and Franz Kline.... Add to this a commitment to the environment and upcycling, a nod to Cubism, and even the study of Ikebana, and you begin to understand the genesis of Wind’s unique assemblages."
