Work Description:
|
The majority of the canvas is filled with shades of black and brown. A gray form rises from the bottom center edge into the matte black background, and a ghostly ocher presence hovers along the bottom left edge. A striking, white vertical form enters the composition from the top center edge, reaching down toward the gray form at bottom. Yellow streaks occupy the white form's center. At right, a thin white lifeline runs from the top edge through a dark crimson form down along the right edge before stopping near the gray form's edge at the bottom right corner.
