In Ms. Unger's "Guardian", a naked woman cut off below the waist, hands on hips, her mouth a pit facing the sky, suggests a Degas Ironer or dancer. But this earthy figure has arms like wings and breasts like missiles. This is a fertility goddess, but of a peculiar kind - one who is both insisting on her fecundity and crying to get out of her skin”. — Michael Brenson, NYTimes, March 3, 1989, Review/Art; Going Beyond Slickness: Sculptors Get Back to Basics at Sculpture Center
