Selby Gallery Exhibition Review, 2008

"Today, because of digital technology, photography is transgressing traditional realism and returning to certain devices of early modernist painting, particularly collage and cubist fracturing of the picture plane.”

“The intimately scaled prints of Italy by Alyssia Lazin are an example. Water and glass reflection, inversion of scene and solid flat rectangles of color produce photographs balanced between implicit narrative and geometric symmetry. "

Museum of Botany & the Arts Review, 2008

"New York photographer Alyssia Lazin reveals the accidental beauty of everyday events or scenes seen for the first time in unfamiliar places: the commonplace made intriguing through the transformative vision of art.”

“Yet what you see would appear to be photo collage, even though they are not, because she plays with the true gravitational elevation of a building or the reflection on a window, sheet of glass or a pool of water, presenting the scene either upside-down or sideways from what was originally in her viewfinder. This subterfuge of inversion or horizontal positioning minimizes the narrative content of the image while increasing its abstract qualities."

Curatorial Review, 2008

"The brilliant installation that includes colored tape across the floor and the walls to suggest the New York subway system was designed by Alyssia Lazin, also a photographer."
