Work Description: 
Dark crimson and black forms swirl across the surface of this small squarish composition. Murky white forms ascend into the scene from the bottom right corner, flickering into the dark scene above and accented by streaks of brown. A horizontal yellow flame shoots across the top left corner, and dabs of blue highlight a brown form at left center. Two parallel crimson forms reach down from the top right edge.
