Work Description:
|
A mangled crescent-wrench-shaped brown form rises from the lower edge of this painting. Several yellow lifelines snake through the center of this form. A small blue shape rises from the bottom to the left of the dominant brown form, and is punctured at its top right by a horizontal yellow dash. Two parallel orange lines rise through the blue form along its right edge. A fluttery crimson shape sits near the top right of the work, as if it has been released from the brown form's gaping maw. A horizontal yellow line splits the white background of the painting and runs from the right edge over towards the center before it abruptly stops before nearing the red form.
