Description:	'Two ornate, highly polished occasional tables stand in close proximity to one another. On one stands a miniature mountain complete with deer and fornicating couple ("Crazy About You"), and on the other a stack of miniature tables forming a pyramid ("Vertigo"). Though separately titled, they work in successful juxtaposition, offering on one hand a wild, romantic bacchanal against the pointless yet "perfect balancing act".'
