Work Description:
|
Three distinct forms dominate this composition. At the top center, an orange ovoid form hovers in space. Black pigment has been placed along its top left edge, and a lighter orange shape highlights the forms right edge. Below the orange disc, a black irregularly-shaped form floats surrounded on all sides by bare canvas. A rich, cobalt blue pierces its center. At the top right, a deep red form enters the composition, highlighted by a brighter red at its top center. A small, yellowish-white form floats off to the far left, while a quiet white lifeline enters from the bottom right, hugging the left edge.
