Anchorage Daily News review
The Anchorage Daily News reviewed NemoArt Gallery's Neobotannica show in October 2005, featuring a photo of Salesin's Pattern Bowls and describing them as follows: "The small, delicate wood bowls by Joshua Salesin give evidence to his steady, industrious hand through smooth, seamless scoops of air carved into patterns of harmonious balance." They went on to say, "The bowls look perfectly balanced and rhythmic as if mimicking the grain within them."
