22 CAUSE AND EFFECT --- This came out of a dream when I was about eight. I thought when those hanging spheres touched each other, the tornado would touch the ground and then race towards us. Pretty scary. This is like the chaos theory saying when a butterfly flaps its wings in Brazil, it can start a storm in America.

23 THE LATEST SUPPER --- Notice how the fruits and vegetables slightly imitate the figures in The Last Supper. In order to make the overhead beams recede into the distance properly, it was necessary to solve the equation: 5X8 - X7 - X6 - X5 - X4 - X3 - X2 - X - 1 = 0. Then by dividing the height of the closest beam by the answer, 1.1, I got the height of the second beam and so on. Da Vinci probably used a similar equation when he painted his beams, and we both used lots of masking tape. (Mine came from 3M. I don't know where he got his.)

24 THE COUGAR FAMILY --- Just one of a number of nature pictures.

25 FAUST --- A very old Dr. Faust (in the background) sees and falls in love with Margaret and makes a pact with the Devil to be young again (in the foreground). As the picture shows: time is running out.
