The artist describes her second sculpture for the collection as a shy work even though it evokes the incisive, exciting and provocative character of the tango; because its two abstract dancers barely touch. More than this, its shyness rests on the way the weather and surrounding landscape penetrate the open linear form to purposefully make it visually disorienting from many view-points.

Coated in a hardy pearlescent paint which is a subtle reference to the pearl shells that can be found in the Kaipara Harbour, the colours of de Goey’s work shift surprisingly in the changing light and atmosphere: slightly bluish in the morning, yellow in the afternoon, and pink or red in the evening.
