Work Description:
|
An ominous black form fills the majority of this medium-sized vertical composition. Jagged, brown forms enter the painting and fill the unpainted spaces surrounding the black pigment along its top right and left edges. A thin, red-orange lifeline slices through the scene from the top edge, just right of center and reaches down through the brown and black forms before tapering off below center. A dash of blue hovers near the bottom left, and a small red form is just visible at the bottom center edge.
