Work Description: 
A deep emerald blue-green color fills the left half of this painting. A large black form is painted within this field at the top left edge, separated from the green by a border of white and bare canvas. A magenta bolt shoots into the black form near its top border. The right half of this painting is mostly filled with white pigment, thought bare canvas peeks in at the bottom right corner and along the top edge. A flickering blue form floats in the top right quadrant. A bolt of orange shoots through the blue form and a small yellow streak floats off the right edge of the blue.
