"Practically
everything about Sorenson's art can be broken down into oppositional
terms. Rigid structure competes with gestural accident; pretty
pastels collide with garish, aggressive color; sharp angles parade
in undulating curves; metered rhythm becomes optically spasmodic
. . .
Sorenson began developing his zigzag motif when what is now
generally regarded as the Minimalist cul-de-sac was becoming increasingly
apparent and the question of what to paint had become an especially
thorny problem."
