Installation view of exhibition shows large scale mixed media sculptures on the floor and wall of the gallery. Four wall mounted artworks are in the background, and on the right in the middle of the floor is an artwork that is close to the ground and made of bent metal, appearing as though it may rock. In the foreground is a tall sculpture with a central pipe from which hang three wooden paddle shapes with paintings on then. The piece stands on three metal legs, and at the top of the artwork is a white form in the shape of a "J" that is made of stuffed fabric. All the works are abstract and multicolored.

Placards and Placeholders, installation view

Large mixed media sculpture with elements mounted on the white gallery wall and elements place on the grey gallery floor. On the wall are two shaped wood panels painted in trompe l'oeil style with simple abstract forms, in browns and greys that define the top of the artwork. A yellow triangular piece of fabric attaches to a brown metal wire stand that holds a round black shallow pan with a silver interior on the floor to the left is a wooded club like form with a white rope on one end that connects it to the yellow fabric. To the right on the floor are abstract red shapes that look like spilled blood.
