He does this through adding solid chunks cf matter te bhis work, such as tar (hence the title cf the show). Using pieces of wood and marble, the effect is c f an energetic natural world in, the midst cf formation and transformation. Sadier says: ' My work, is sometimes symboic, sometimes totally abstract in nature, but it is neyer witbout physical energy. "The abstract works are more expressionistic with their layering of difl'erent materials,' express movemenit, body rbythms and the passagecftime."
