"Prudence's CounterIntelligence painting project required us to sustain our shared gaze with her, and through this method...she dislodged each of us from our usual self-perspectives and narratives. [She] made space for new possibilities...which helped us bond. The gaze...extended our community, helping this Institute take shape. Prudence was fundamental in achieving this goal."
"Indeed, I believe Prudence has been the most active scientist in terms of creating knowledge this Fall in the WTI. She has been involved in deep interaction and collaboration with each of us."
