In a 2001 review of Richard Lang and Judith Selby Lang's exhibition Disposable Truths, Barbara Morris wrote, "Disposable Truths serves the purpose of making a statement about the way we interact with our environment while taking small steps in a positive direction. . . Selby and Lang have produced an unassuming and thoughtful show which quietly reflects on the current state of our species."{{Cite journal |last=Morris |first=Barbara |date=July 2001 |title=Disposable Truths |journal=Artweek |volume=32 |issue=7 |pages=20}}

About the 2002 exhibition Turning the Tables, Artweek writer Barbara Morris stated, "Gallery Route One in Point Reyes Station organized an ambitious collection of exhibitions, performances and events exploring the 'environmental impact of growing, distributing, consuming and appreciating food.'" Morris continued, "Turning the Tables brought together artists and farmers and diverse populations to explore common ground upon which all their interests intersect. The community of Point Reyes used the numerous events—ranging from garden tours to plein air paint-into celebrate its creative energy, a rich farming tradition and a collaborative spirit, while spreading the message of conscious living in the greater community."{{Cite journal |last=Morris |first=Barbara |date=December 2002 |title='Turnging the Tables' at Gallery Route One |journal=Artweek |volume=33 |issue=10 |pages=17}}
