Work Description:
In this abstract work, the background is comprised of large areas of black and brown, with a small corner of teal. Three additional forms emerge from the darker colors, two clearly extend vertically, while the third emerges from the bottom of the work and swirls horizontally before extending vertically. The yellow form on the left side of the work has a water like quality, undulating slightly in three places. The thin blue shape attaches to the more ambiguous form towards the bottom of the canvas. This form begins as a greenish vertical line, morphs into a magenta swooping shape surrounded by the original white canvas, and finally shoots vertically upwards. The white canvas horizontally continues over the edge of the right side of the canvas, creating an extension of the form.
