Spheres-Time (Tabernacle Painting)

USCO · 1965 · oil and screenprint on canvas ·  Accession ID  2023.10.1

This painting shows radiating pink lines against a bright yellow background. The lines extend outward from the center, where there are three overlapping shapes. The largest is the green silhouette of a standing person, their feet together and their arms bent and raised. This green silhouette takes up a large amount of the painting. Overlapping with this silhouette is the white outline of a figure seated in a meditation posture. This figure has large, extended earlobes and a dot on their forehead, and their hair is in a knot on the top of their head. This outline overlaps with the torso and upper thighs of the green silhouette. The final shape at the center is a bright yellow circle with a purple flower in the middle with four pink roses around it. This circle overlaps with the torso of the meditating figure and the waist of the green silhouette.
