Description:
Large horizontal canvas made with black, red, pink and light blue pigment on a deep ochre background. The canvas is divided into three triangular sections of abstract curvilinear marks in black and red pigment separated by planes of ochre yellow ground. The upper left triangle is rendered with black marks and include an appendage that projects from its right side then turns downs into the center triangle rendered primarily in red markings. This larger center triange includes a smaller rectangle of light blue pigment placed near the center. Within the blue rectangle is drawn a black abstract curvilinear line figure which loops outside of the blue field on the right and then back in. The right side triange is rendered in red curvilinear marks. A small rectangular section is rendered with pink paint to look as if it's transparent to reveal the marks below.
