Thom explains these works

These single out symbolic elements of the figures to further explore their interactions with each other. For example, “Ripening What Survives” and “Powerpoint Intersection” use the Orpheus face with what might be an antenna, an inverted root, or a hoop through which to view the sky. The 12-foot long “Subliminal Rise” uses a full figure Orpheus levitating with what might be a spiraling umbilical cord or root.
