Work Description:
A strange black, horned, creature-like form rises from the base of the canvas into a deep charcoal gray setting and dominates the entire composition. Tiny circles one blue and one light pink, surround the form's two upper-most point. Two parallel strokes emerge near the highest point's halo and run horizontally off the right edge of the canvas. A small dome-shaped area is left unpainted at the bottom right edge of the work, thus becoming a sharp contrast to the rest of the darkly-rendered composition. Out of this unpainted form, a vegetal stalk grows into the black form above splitting into two before fading out. On top of the unpainted area, two parallel and identical deep maroon strokes appear.
