These include Dunham's elegantly eccentric Horizontal Bands (1982 — 1983), the cool formal title giving no hint as to the jam - up of witty, bulbous, bulb - and - root forms; Joan Snyder's rapturous lyric pastoral Beanfield With Music (1984), with its luxuriantly
orchestrated cacophony of greens; and Bill Jensen's The Tempest (1980 — 1981), a floating enigma like an astral starfish with a sci - fi snout, at once melancholy and oracular.
