Footnote
Notes: Always attracted by unusual shapes or forms, Reeves convincingly integrates the man-made with the natural in this print. A seemingly random scattering of washed up "Shore Objects" has apparently settled on the pebbles - until the next tide sweeps in. In both his prints and his paintings Reeves is a persistently inventive user of "found objects." He is in his element when contriving collages incorporating such abandoned fragments.
