Work Description:
|
A muddy brown pigment fills the majority of the work. An irregularly shaped white vertical form stretches from the bottom edge to the top just left of center. Black forms reach into the center of the composition from the bottom left corner and top right corner. A large form rendered in vibrant yellow paint emerges from the right center edge, overlapping the nearby black shape. A smaller black form with splashes of red and white hovers at top left. Two orange dots appear in the top center of the canvas, directly to the right of the white lifeline's apex. Exposed canvas is visible throughout the work in small areas, especially in the yellow form at right.
