Work Description:
|
A writhing black form with long spider-like appendages enters the composition from the left edge, mingling with several sienna-colored passages which fill the top left, bottom left. and right half of the canvas. Bare canvas fills the spaces between the two colors and surrounding two parallel yellow lines running vertically along the work's right edge. A tiny red passage sits at the top right, several concentrated orange strokes are located near the top left, and two parallel white horizontal dashes hover along the left edge of the sienna form just to the right and above center.
