Lyle Rexer writes of Roland's print in his book The Edge of Vision: The Rise of Abstraction in Photography:
. . . He carefully frames details of highly schematic building facades in such a way that they are read as patterned two-dimensional surfaces with only telltale hints of their physical origin. This schematizing emphasizes the relentlessly geometric, repetitive and regular character of the social and political worlds these buildings embody.New prints show bold color and dynamic lines that seem to deny the strict structure of such facades, leaving one lost in pattern and separated from the physics of such existence.
