Work Description:
|
An orange form rises from the bottom edge and fills most of the bottom half of the composition except for a thin area at the right edge and a slightly thicker strip along the left edge. Two similarly-sized oblong forms—a crimson red form above a jet black form—hover within the flat orange field. Mottled tan/light brown pigment fill the composition around the orange field, leaving only the bottom left corner bare. Two dagger-like protrusions jut into view from the top left edge: the smaller of the two is rendered in white paint just to the left of the larger, bright yellow form.
