Work Description: 
A mound of frenzied black and yellow marks flickers in the lower left corner. Dashes of red and orange accent the form. A long, ethereal trail of black pigment detaches from the mound at the bottom left and rises diagonally up and off the top right corner. A hazy green line emerges from the bottom edge just right of center and rises up towards the black line before disappearing into the background. The work is drawn onto a faded green construction paper.
