Work Description:
|
In this large horizontal work, an ominous black form fills the entire center and expands towards the right and left edges. A vertical crimson form cuts through the matte black field like a bloody gash from top to bottom just left of center. A pale yellow form also enters the black field at its bottom right. A thin, wiry, blue lifeline painted onto bare canvas is barely visible along the left edge, and a tiny orange dab sits just to the top left of the blue lifeline's apex near the top left corner.
