Work Description:
Painted on brown cloth, the only painted aspects in this composition are three thin, writhing lines along with several smaller geometric shapes. The first line on the left, painted in a deep crimson color, rises from the bottom left corner and winds its way up vertically before ending about three-fourths of the way up the composition. At the top of this line, a blue circle is painted below a red circle. Two small yellow dots lie beneath the blue circle, white a white dot is at the center of the red circle. The next line, painted in a golden-yellow pigment, starts near the vertical-center of the canvas close to the right edge, falls down near the bottom edge before curving back upwards, and ends near the top edge of the work. It is topped by a strange long creamy-white colored stroke and three adjacent green dots. Above the top of the red line and both ends of the yellow line are curving brown wispy strokes which fall to the lines' sides before trailing off. The last line is painted in a mint-green and starts at the right edge of the composition about one-forth of the way up the canvas, this line runs horizontally crossing the other lines before curving back and winding back down to the bottom right edge of the canvas.
