Work Description: 
A fluttery, disjointed black form dominates the center and right half of this composition. There is a brown form in the viewer's bottom left corner, which reaches over towards the black form at bottom center. In the bottom right corner, two small yellow forms rise on either side of a tiny red form. The area in the viewer's top left is mostly left unpainted, except for a small orange form hovering near the upper left edge.
