Work Description:
|
A tall, primarily magenta presence rises from the bottom edge, just right of center. The form's center is a roughly-executed black line outlined with streaks of white. Small passages of teal surround the top left edge of the figure, and a sienna-colored area resides at the top right edge and runs off the top right corner of the composition. Tiny yellow dots are speckled throughout the bottom left corner of this sienna-colored passage. The rest of the canvas is covered with frantic brown and white strokes, mixed directly on the canvas. A small orange passage surrounded in magenta interjects the scene at the lower left edge.
