In stark contrast, La Folie III (2002) features a wildly ecstatic ensemble of ancient Greek Gorgons, writhing snakes, running scarabs and loping, three - legged,

pictographs ---- more excavation than topography, as well as biomorphic shapes drawn on or scratched into the paint, linking painting practice with
prehistoric creative impulses.
