This doesn’t always happen though, and as artists we always need to be ready and able to take constructive criticism ;-} And when I review openings, everything’s up for grabs anyway!

This one was just too good to pass up.

Uggh.

I can understand tension, informal composition… but this is just awkward, both in the internal harmony of the piece (between the individual elements) and in relation to its environment. I think the bit that appears to be melting over the step and onto the floor is meant to be inspired, but it’s just obtuse. What overriding force of symbolism or visual balance gave rise to THAT?
