From that 1990 article, talking about the art of the 70s:
"For Barry Le Va, whose scatter pieces mix rolls, strips and particles of felt with ball bearings or shards of glass, sculpture is a matter of texture and horizontality - a field of seemingly random incidents spread out at the viewer's feet."
I'm surprised no one in your group was differentiating 70s and late 80s scatter, since the 80s was all about taking old ideas and ironically repurposing them.
