“When Sonja Peterson reads the economic news, she's reminded of the explorers of the romantic age, and their frenzied quests to conquer the wild unknown..Peterson's current exhibition…explores this connection between untamed nature and the wilds of Wall Street. In her intensely detailed paper cuts, exotic trees stand next to skyscrapers, while businessmen with briefcases navigate the vines alongside monkeys and cranes. In the shadows of the jungle lie stock reports and Dow Jones averages…While the beauty and intricacy of Peterson's work draws in the viewer's eyes, upon closer inspection it reveals an unsettling relationship between man and nature. “ - Marianne Combs, MPR, May 13, 2010
