Work Description:
Two large black forms enter this predominantly unpainted, squarish composition. One black form emerges from the bottom left corner up, reaches up to the top edge, and is bisected by writhing crimson forms. The other black form enters from the bottom right edge towards the center of the work and then juts sharply to the right where it runs off the bottom right edge. Several small fiery blue streaks puncture the center of this black form. A small yellow form floats in the empty space above the black form on the right, while an orange and yellow form is just barely visible at the left center edge.
