From The New Yorker, October 6, 2008

Eveleth’s luminous paintings of jelly doughnuts, her subject for nearly two decades, maintain their creepy sensuality and metaphorical richness. Viewed at close range, the imagery dissolves into buttery abstraction, like the thighs on a Rubens nude; at a distance, flake and ooze adorn Photo-Realist Krispy Kremes. Several titles—“Unintended Consequences,” “Arsenal,” “Bald-faced Lie”—suggest political scenarios, and the red jelly that spills out of the pastries can evoke blood and viscera. Eveleth’s canvases might seem over-freighted with meaning were they not so lusciously painted.
