Work Description:
Over a flat black field, a structure-like form is painted at the bottom center of the canvas with a yellow line. It is modeled along its inner left edge by a brown color, and emphasized on its right edge by a acid-green wedge shape painted with thick parallel strokes and running off the edge of the work in the bottom right corner. A thick blood-red line winds its way from the center of the top edge down towards the bottom third of the canvas where it overlaps the yellow form and curves to the left before turning upwards again and abruptly ending directly above the top of the yellow form. In the bottom left corner, a ghostly blue shape with two circular voids one on top of the other emerges from its black surroundings.
