'At times Wood stands back and, with an uncanny ability to know precisely just what is enough, takes up a cloth, and wipes his surface almost smooth. The prime example is ‘Breathe’, which he is prepared to leave, instinctively, at a point where the impasto dries to conjure a hieroglyph or even, in the spirit of Franz Kline, a Japanese haiku.'
