Work Description: 
Jagged, irregularly-shaped forms in white, black, crimson, and blue hover throughout the composition rendered primarily in golden-tan pigment. Two vertically-oriented forms, one black, one white, overlap just left of center. A deep crimson shape sits below the white form at the bottom left corner. At right center, flashes of black accented by streaks of yellow streak float along the composition's edge. An isolated blue form is placed at the top right corner, highlighted by dabs of white sprinkled across its center.
