"For the ghostly sheets and occasional canvases produced by Wes Mills, ''markings'' might be a better word than ''drawings.'' Drawing seems to imply more structure and a firmer pressure on the instrument than the artist exerts. But the pocks and abstract lines of Mr. Mills's brush, pencil and erasures -- sometimes bunched or clustered, sometimes meandering bravely on their own -- pay no heed to such conventional ideas. Notations suggesting the real world without the need to blossom into images, they have the feel of Zen poetry."- The New York Times
