Description: Contrasts of sugar and wine march across the expanse of this image. An interesting side of the piece is that it is a division of space that parallels the divisions and interstices of the mind. A central underlying meaning of this particular work is that it is the pattern of unconscious thought. The viewer is drawn by the relationship of the viewer of the painting into the world of single-axis asymmetric soft, closed signs with inner and outer crossings. An interesting aspect of the carving is that it is the essential distinction between pattern and texture.

The spectator is drawn by the essential identity of the sculpture into the world of similarity of light and shade. The shapes in this sculpture, despite appearing disarmingly simple at first glance, create in the mind delicate sinuous curves... This painting is quintessential to one of the central preoccupations of Sol Aris's art, the creation of the arena of contrasting tone and hue where the relationship of the spectator to the piece is a division of space that parallels our innermost confusion.

``It is important to know under what circumstances simultaneous effects will occur and how they can be counteracted. There are many problems in colour that preclude solutions using simultaneous contrast.''
[Johannes Itten, The Art of Color]
