Artist, American, born 1949

The image consists of diagonal and vertical lines created by shadows and window frames, with patches of red light projected on a wall. The red patches resemble torn strips of paper or fabric. The window on the left is visible. The interplay of light and shadow suggests sunlight streaming in during a sunset, casting unique shapes in the interior space.
