A colourful image of a skull faced flower with a red comet like tail arching over a black figure. The black figure is folded over and partially reveals a charcoal drawing of an aloe vera plant and partially coloured square grid

The composition is mostly white with pale colours and a dark splotchy bar across the upper third of the composition. A Cartesian plane occupies the left and bottom edges; a drawing of a plant sits at the top of the y axis and a squatting figure is at the end of the x axis. Coloured lines move across the composition over a cat with its back arched and a face obscured by a cloth.

A colourful composition with two panels; the left side is about one third of the overall size. It has a square grid and gestural charcoal drawings. The right side has a drawing of a burning palm tree and a dark upper background. Across the entire lower third of the composition are four heads overlaid with bright pink and blue starbursts.

A colourful composition of predominantly blue and yellow. A pair disembodied of eyes looks solemnly away from the viewer with a piece of cloth hanging down from between them. The cloth partially obscures a diagonal red beam that moves across the composition. To the left of the beam is a silhouette of a plant against a dark rectangle. On the right is a gestural charcoal line drawing. Across the bottom of the composition is an arch of radiating black lines akin to the edge of a crater.

A stern looking face occupies the center of the composition and is framed in from above and below with loose black lines. Stenciled figures fill in areas of the top third while a marbling of blues, yellows and black occupy the bottom area.

A darkly coloured and energetic composition with many elements. Loosely drawn bird figures move across the upper third area. Lower down, a pair of dark hands gesticulate toward a triangle marked "A, B, C" at each corner. A dark mound covers the lower third of the composition. Within the mound are a pair of red shoes, a snake and paper cutouts of charcoal pieces.

Loosely drawn, uneven concentric arcs radiate outwards from a dark point at the bottom of the composition. These arcs overlap stenciled figures and colourful splotches throughout the composition.

A colourful composition with an energetic star burst emanating from the bottom edge. Small black arrows move to and from the star burst. At the upper half of the composition is a loosely drawn trio of horizontal lines balanced atop an arc.

A panoramic composition with a spiky dark figure dominating the lower section. Three pairs of red heels sit just above it with an image of a young boy superimposed in the one furthest to the left. To the left of the boy are four diamond shaped line drawings. A loosely drawn pair of birds occupy the right-hand side of the composition. Between the boy and the birds is a dark mound shape.

A trio of simply rendered crowned figures stands to the right of the composition. Energetic markings partially obscure the middle figure. Lines from the figure's hand lead to an ornate line drawing to the left side rendered over a dark background. The upper half of the drawing is a blue cover and overlapping line drawings of upside down birds come in from the upper left corner.
