Work Description:
An ominous black field rises from the bottom right edge into a flat white abyss, flickering as it tapers near to the top right corner. A dark maroon form rises about halfway up the composition in front of the black field from the bottom right edge. A related form rendered in the same maroon pigment sits at the top right corner and has a bright red passage painted within its bottom half at the top right edge.Three distinct lifelines exist in the composition. One yellow line and one red line extend from the bottom right quadrant vertically up in front of the larger maroon form and end near the top right quadrant where a small golden brown form hovers near the apex of the black field. Another lifeline, painted in a deep crimson pigment, shoots horizontally across the white space from the left upper edge and ends in a sharp point immediately before piercing the black field at the work's top center quadrant.
