Work Description:
|
Deep, earthy brown pigment fills the composition. Two black vertical forms emerge from the bottom of the canvas, rising alongside each other until about half-way up the canvas, when the form at right seems to overpower the form at left and rises up off the top edge of the work. A thin, disjointed blue-green lifeline runs through the core of this taller black form. Gray and white forms rise into each of the black forms from the bottom edge. Small accents of a lighter brown appear at the top left corner and along the top right edge of the taller black form. A small burst rendered in white, black, and red flutters in the top right quadrant.
