“…the 33-foot-long drawing begins and ends with the image of a hand, drawing it, and unfolds in accordion fashion to cover a meandering flow of wittily rendered subjects above and below a straight line: buildings, bridges and other architecture; women; life in the sun; swimmers; an airplane, mountains and such; winding up with an ice skater forming one of Steinberg’s eloquent signature squiggles. It’s a perfect compendium of Steinbergian methodology, a free-association process where a horizon line becomes a water line that becomes a table that becomes a shelf, and objects spawn others like words in a game.”
