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

| Description: |
Contrasts of dark and light
march across
the
vastness
of the doodle.
The spectator is drawn by the
scale and openness
of the painting into
the world of similarity of dark and light.
The artist avoids
a rectangular grid
to define the
colours, which thus
stand alone.
An important part of this work is the shapes
contrasting strongly with
the emphatically factual experience of
honey and rolling sand so clearly visible.
