This pair of paintings is united by elements of line, color, and design. They share a light yellow background that, in both paintings, supports bold black shapes and thin, energetic black lines. The piece on the left contains a large, black "C" with a bright yellow halo in the middle that is flanked on the top by a thick, horizontal black line with a blue halo and on the bottom by a horizontal row of black dots. Another shorter thick, vertical black line with a pink halo occupies the lower right hand corner. The piece on the right contains four thick, vertical black lines. The fattest of the four sits on the left side of the painting. Two slightly skinnier ones sit side by side toward the right. The skinniest one sits even farther to the right, and it is broken up by swatches of gray. Above the the vertical lines on the right, in the upper right corner, sits a grid of nine black dots. Linear washes of orange and green create contrast with the painting on the left while a small square of pink in the painting on the right unifies them., Symbiosis 1& 2; (29 x 35.5 x .5 ea.); 8-96; dry pigment, enamel, gold leaf, varnish on aluminum, Tom Anderson was born in 1951 in Salt Lake City, the son of a jazz musician.

He initiated the use of the 16mm animation facilities, helped to establish the FM Radio station KAOS, co-created the four-story library mural, and worked as an assistant graphic designer, developing the College's catalogs and visual identities. He graduated in 1973 with a Bachelor of Arts degree. That same year, Anderson co-founded Mansion Glass Studios in Olympia. This collaboration won recognition locally and nationally for their design and fabrication of Architectural Art Glass commissions, as well as for their restoration projects. Anderson first attended the highly esteemed Pilchuck Glass School in 1986, as a teaching assistant to Henry Halem. He returned in 1987, on a scholarship with Susan Stinsmuhlen-Amend, and again in 1988 and 1989 as a teaching assistant in the advanced graduate program, specializing on glass casting and enamel kiln firing. In 1990, Anderson established his own studio in Olympia. Over the past eight years he has continued his work painting, metal fabrication, mixed media constructions, and printmaking.
