“[Phillips’] sense of appropriation is powerfully imaginative—the artist aims to reenact the existence of someone from another life—much as Cindy Sherman does in her famous film stills....The relationship between author and mediator is deliberately complex, so that it is hard to say whether it is Phillips himself or his assumed persona that is the subject of the works before us.”
