Artist, American, born 1930

The image displays overlapping shapes and lines creating an abstract scene. In the foreground, multiple circular and curved lines converge to form a complex pattern resembling a large dial or clock face. Angular forms intersect and zigzag above and around the central circular element. The shapes suggest geometric figures like ladders or starry backgrounds. On the sides, there are silhouettes of humanoid figures with dotted and starry patterns. Additional details include a small crown-like shape and intricate textures, contributing to the overall mosaic-like complexity of the scene.
