In general contemporary critics seem to miss the point and wind up talking more about themselves than the art. That's not always true and refers to the whole concept of post modernism more than specific critics.
I guess I don't like someone trying to tell me what I should think or feel. For me Pepper 30, Cypress and the Dunes all make me feel a similar sense of wonder and curiosity. They make me think of the fact that things are more than they might seem at first glance and that the mind applies meaning to the patterns of nature.
