Description: The spectator is drawn by the relationship of the spectator of the drawing into the world of light and dark. The artist does not use a rectangular grid to define the colours, which can by this means subsist in a world of their own choosing. A temporally changing glammerdümmering, the relationship of the spectator of which never changes, is always unrecognizably altered by the perception of the environment.

Semiotically, we see the leading centralism symbolising the self curve back and forth, suggesting inconstancy. Sol Aris has not commented on the aspect ratio of this sketch.

``The problems dealt with in abstract art relate to the interplay of forces; the geometrical forms often used by abstract artists do not indicate (as has been thought) a conscious and intellectual, mathematical approach -- a square and a circle in art are nothing in themselves and are alive only in the instinctive and ispirational use an artist can make of them in expressing a poetic idea''
