Work Description:
|
In this expansive horizontally-oriented composition, vertical fields of black and white and pale gray alternate across the surface creating a striated, forceful image. A single darker gray form rests in the bottom left corner, and a thin cobalt blue form runs along the right center edge. An electric orange lifeline runs from top to bottom near the left edge, decisively splitting one of the pale gray forms.
