Work Description: 
A large black form enters the composition from the bottom left corner and fills the entire left half and bottom two thirds of the canvas. The rest of the work is composed almost entirely of exposed bare canvas with the exception of a bright red knife-like form that drops into the scene from the top right edge and falls just to the right of the black near the work's center. A tiny yellow stroke of color floats near the right upper edge, surrounded by bare canvas.
