Work Description: 
PH-92 is a small rectangular canvas that seems to have been cut from a larger composition and is about the size of a work on paper. The work is filled on the left with a rich cobalt blue from top to bottom edge and on the right with a deep black pigment. Between these two colors lies a gray form with a white stripe running through it from top to bottom. A small isolated blue amoeba-like form floats in the gray area at center and to the right of the white lifeline.
