“Randy Slack’s Seventeen Pussy Cat Cover Up by Banana Leaf Still Life (2002) is the artist’s irreverent take on his somewhat seedy downtown Phoenix studio life.

“Unfortunately, Sue Chenoweth’s Fragile Like Foliage (2002), an acrylic, graphite, ink, and Letraset painting on wood, just isn’t up to her usual output and suffers from over-intellectualizing. Not only is it the smallest piece in a forest of gigantic paintings, but it also lacks Chenoweth’s characteristically edgy emotional fire and frenzied brushwork…”
