"...one motif emerges with almost obsessional regularity. This is the idea of movement which he symbolises by flying birds, or by abstract shapes hustling with bird-like freedom through thickets of darkness. Sometimes the movement is reduced to a fluttering agony in a prison of black lines, but at times it breaks free and speeds with a sense of purpose towards some unknown goal. Occasionally, the shapes take on a vague semblance to human figures, but they drift without apparent purpose, like pale leaves on a night wind."
