The move from perspectively delirious videos recording their own production - a sort of Genzkenian prolepsis of claiming the production the product - and acclaimed then before into the recent and ongoing big wet&sticky Jolly-Ranchers whose vestigial remains of the viewpointally ambiguous videos is their most interesting, albeit liminally, part; that Hubbard continues regressing into now actual figurative representations of the ambiguity and masking a drinking problem (there's a bar behind the paintings!) thematizing the boozie distress of authorship, the eyerolling tragedy of those painters drunk to death, and perhaps signals Hubbard has staged his own intervention and we can move soberly on.
