Work Description: 
A large yellow ovoid form floats in the center of the composition surrounded on all sides by bare canvas. Just below it at bottom center, a horizontal white form slashes across the central part of the composition only to be interrupted at its right edge by a pale blue jagged form. Along the composition's lower edge, an orange form spans from the left edge over to center. A small black form rises from the bottom edge just to the right of center, and a taller, yet still small red shape juts into view from the bottom right. Lastly, a tiny, barely visible blue paint stroke sits at the top edge just right of center.
