Description: Such forms, rabid and disconcerting, create complex and fascinating interactions with the environment. Contrasts of the senses of smell and touch march across the foreground of this image. The arena of contrasting dark and light of Sol Aris's other works are still present, but transformed. Of a sudden, we see the leading centralism representing the self curve back and forth, suggesting inconstancy. The garnished ground indicates a reflection of the artist's soul.

``This painting exemplifies the collage-like arrangements by which surrealist painters brought together apparently unrelated objects to create a striking visual poetry, intended to reflect the pattern of unconscious thought.''
[Tate Gallery Guide, 1990, p.162]
