Work Description: 
A deep blue form expands across the bottom half of this horizontally-oriented work from right edge over to a foot or so prior to hitting the left edge. The top edge of this form is jagged and uneven. The extreme right edge has been left unpainted along with two jagged areas jutting into the blue region from the bottom right edge. A vertical black form fills the space along the left edge, and also leaves a thin strip of unpainted canvas along the immediate left edge. A small, rough "c"-shaped red form floats at the top center amidst the bare canvas above the blue form. Directly above this red form, a white form protrudes into the scene from the top center edge.
