The series also includes two screen prints and a video. Although the pieces lose a dimension, they maintain every bit of the psychedelic awe found in her other pieces. The screen prints use geometric shapes and vivid colors to spellbind, similar to her 3D work. The video goes in the opposite direction, maintaining interest with a constantly changing collage of moving images.

English artist Patrick Hughes' paintings make an object out of the world as we see it- a type of work that he calls "reverspective" painting or combining painting with making objects. In his reverspectives, interiors of art museums, houses, and multiple buildings under crystal blue skies, are broken apart and as one moves around the picture, they fold together into a solidified space. It is a trick of our own perceptions, as the pieces are actually an immobile, abstract sculpture. In essence, once could also call Hughes' work sculptural paintings.
