Work Description:
|
A tall black totem/cliff-shaped form rises over the left half of the composition. Cobalt blue swathes of color fill the space above and to the right of this form, while two smaller interlocking forms hover at the top right corner. The lower form is painted a flat slate gray, and the form along the top edge is a deep purple color. A flash of orange hovers between them. Two tiny passages sit in front of the menacing black form at the bottom left corner: one is cobalt, and one is brown.
