To greater or lesser degree (and with greater or lesser success), Reuther and Foote touch on these fathomless motivations in all the work in their exhibitions. In fact, it might have profited each to have displayed their work alternately, to allow a by-play of style and approach and technique in a provocative and slightly anarchic exchange of comparison and contrast.
