Work Description:
|
An intense red-orange fills the bottom three-fourths of this composition. A horizontal black form slides across the top edge of this red-orange form from left to right edge. A dark brown form hovers above the black along the top left edge, while a blue form and magenta form hover within the black at the top right corner. Tiny touches of white are placed along the bottom edge of the black form, highlighting its separation from the red-orange below. A thin, vertical lifeline is barely visible running through the orange shape from the bottom edge. Finally, a small crimson form sits along the bottom right corner behind Still's signature.
