This show includes work from the late 1970s and the late 1990s.  The former is represented by paintings in which a solid painterly form is located on a field of even though slightly textured color.  The latter paintings include linear tangled forms also placed on a field of color. In this case the forms interact with the ground embedding within it and creating a livelier result.  It is this group of paintings that are the more satisfying due to the way they engage the entire picture plane.  The 70s paintings present a more this versus that figure/ground relationship; a sort of take it or leave it attitude.  The 90s paintings create an ambiguity for the relationship and are more interesting.
