Work Description:
|
Murky brown and black fields of color fill this small, squarish composition. An irregularly-shaped ocher form rises from bottom center, branching into several vertical arms which reach up towards the center and top right. Flickering forms in yellow streak through the ocher form. A bright white form hugs the right edge, balanced at top left by small white form surrounded on all sides by brown. Below this white form, a crimson and blood-red form floats amidst the brown and black fields. Two barely-discernible turquoise fields hover along the top center, accented by tiny streaks of white.
