Work produced in 1989 for an exhibition in Santa Monica, California, weighed a multitude of concerns; the social function of art (Crowd, 1989 and Painting, 1989), identity and authenticity (Signage, 1989), mortality (Myth, 1989), circular logic (Closed Circle, 1989 and A Typical Whorl, 1989), and the creative act, transgression, and form devoid of meaning, (Great Works, 1989).
