The first is an organic study of elegant, sweeping forms which lend a sense of undulation to the composition, a gentle motion arrested by the starkly static thrust of the pollen-dusted spike which appears to be simultaneously immobile while also jutting skyward.
In contrast the second offering, a scene constructed largely of wood, seems oddly inorganic due to the powerful dominance of swaths and vectors of paint. Similar to the first composition, here too a relatively small portion of the canvas demands attention: framed by potent lines and near the vortex of converging rays, a yawning mouth of indeterminate depth sits in wait of unsuspecting visitors.
