Description: Contrasts of happiness and salt emphasise the emptiness of the drawing. The never-ending curves are intertwined in a parody of celebration. In this painting Sol Aris demonstrates clearly the relationship between salt and pepper. The artist uses a limited canvas to shape the colours, which therefore float free. Contrasts of light and dark emphasise the emptiness of this image.

In this prototype Sol Aris shows the relationship between the senses of smell and touch. The ornamented ground enriches a division of space that parallels the divisions and interstices of the mind.

Contrasts of dark and light emphasise the foreground of the sculpture.

``Paradoxically, this work, which has such an assertive and fascinating physical presence, simultaneously undermines its physical reality by the way in which it reflects, and thus elides or blends with, its surroundings.''
