  • The image features abstract lines and shapes drawn with a sketchy, freeform style. At the top, there are faint, hand-drawn black lines and letters that suggest the word "sylvae." Below, towards the bottom, there is a swirl of red, black, and white lines converging into a dense mass. The red strokes reach upward from the cluster, resembling abstract petals or flames. Handwritten letters in red near the center on the right add to the sense of spontaneity and abstract expression.

  • Rectangles, scribbles, and smudges loosely cluster to create a band that runs from the bottom left corner to the top right against a parchment-white background in this horizontal, abstract work. The work was created with wax crayons, graphite, and house paint on canvas. Some of the shapes and smudges are royal blue, scarlet red, ochre yellow, or gray. Scribbles that suggest illegible writing fill some of the rectangles or is scrawled elsewhere in the composition. Handwritten numbers in blue, yellow, gray, or pumpkin orange are sprinkled throughout, including 2237, 26, 300, 1200, 28, and “17 x 400” near the upper right; 82, 28, 23, and 18 near the center; and 82, 2014, 300, 24, and 8 near the lower left. The largest number, “16490” is written in tall letters near the lower right corner.
