"Thought works are this and that and this and that too, but definitely not that and this."
Like in the horse paintings/drawings and textile paintings, the content is a reflective/provocative/questioning statement. Short pieces written or painted in a quick manner. – MH and AC.

These were started in 1995 and 1996 and 1997, around that time, when Sands felt he was gaining a voice as an artist and could make such declarative statements. But there are also funny ones like ‘I Think I Control The Weather’. Humorous. Humor is extremely important, even in retrospect, as depressive thoughts are often funny after the fact (to Sands and his husband Robin). The thought drawings are made on business stationery of Sands’ and made mostly with scented colored markers that Sands used to use as a child to draw. They fade in sunlight. The works are often/mostly A4 and are in cheap frames from the Dutch shop HEMA. There are about 50 in frames, but there are more loose pages floating around... – SMW.
