U and Eye

On first impression, Davidson's work might seem to be a collection of random shapes with few external references – a kind of landscape of the mind. Davidson has used these forms in other works – the red circle outlined with black, the half tri-neg, and the U-shapes with extenuated legs – and they have become part of his personal pictorial alphabet. The movement and countermovement expressed by the forms have an almost musical cadence to them. – Barbara Brotherton, Sheila Farr and John Haworth, published Seattle Art Museum
