“The work has an air of both freedom and fragility. Painted directly on to unstretched, unprimed canvas and framed by strips of loosely stuck black fabric, it resembles a tapestry as much as a painting. It combines a variety of collaged materials and mediums: oil paint on canvas and watercolour on paper, as well as the visible staples. It also juxtaposes abstract shapes and forms with surprising details, such as Piper’s comb-like hands.’’
