Ruth Meyer from

The Artists’ Magazine

, commented on Gibson’s works, “Gibson uses a camera and digital software to capture, explode and recombine figural elements that are hand collaged on board using acrylic mediums, pencils and paint.” 

Gibson states, “Smash Representation and Abstraction together and my work is the aftermath.  This work is the psychological construction and reconstruction of the figure.”
