So Shaver rebelled against the show's restrictive theme. Instead of drawings, he contributed a quartet of small paintings and mixed-media works. In their statements, they praise the medium for its immediacy and spontaneity, not a few noting that quick, direct drawing on paper helps them break through assorted artistic blocks. That breakthrough shows in the four very loose drawings he exhibits here, done in various combinations of pencil and India ink. All Saunders' finely crafted drawings, in fact, suggest speed and fluidity and an abandonment of conscious control.
