From “Shake: An Exhibition of Snow Domes,” PS122 New York, 1998.

“Keefe, who is not an architect, but who possesses a profoundly architectural sensibility – and a corrosive wit – makes dizzyingly detailed, nightmarishly elegant drawings and models of congested, close-packed cities. His charmingly dystopian schemes, one of which is erected on an octagonal table resembling the gameboard for crokinole, present tiny wooden cities, all mild little basswood skyscrapers so winsome you forget, in their airless thronging together, just how hopeless life there would be.”
