Pretentious Yet Pointless
``The artist is more a facilitator than an authoritarian with his materials and thus expresses `sympathy with matter'.''

| Description: |
A particularly contentious aspect of this work is the shapes
contrasting strongly with
the world of night and day to indicate the sensuality of intoxification.
The image shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
