Work Description:
|
Two seated, abstracted figures are set within an ambiguous glowing yellow setting with a faint pinkish-red orb rising at center. The figures' heads are abstracted to resemble machinery or wrench-like tools, and the rest of their bodies are reduced to bulging, organic masses. Besides the blurry red disc, the only other color in this primarily yellow composition is used to describe two hands, which seem to float, unattached in front of the two figures at the work's bottom left and center.
