"Vozzo's figures are not to be seen as naturalistic sculptures of women, but as distillations of human sensuality. They resemble swollen, stony teardrops, wherein the weight has settled into the base. The mass and solidity of flesh is conveyed in a haptic fashion - that is, in a style that corresponds to the claims of feeling rather than observation. As in the case of children's drawings and Expressionist painting, these works exaggerate those aspects of a subject that are subjectively most important to the artist. What is critical for the viewer is the recognition that a beautiful and sensuous artifact needs no further justification. In both the finished work and the process of its making, Vozzo finds an antidote for all the imaginary ills that lead us to underestimate the aesthetic power and longevity of a few simple forms."
