They hark back simultaneously to the biomorphic swellings of Arshile Gorky and Miro and to comic strip thought balloons - Surrealist fantasy inflated by the breath of Donald Duck. And by that means she offered a reminder that there's a slip-sliding dreamworld shared by Popeye and Dali - and by us, in our innermost moments - where all shapes are easily shifted...
