Artist, American, born 1949

The image shows interconnected shapes and lines forming an intricate pattern of overlapping faces with angular features. The artwork is abstract and uses a limited color palette of gold, black, and white, with hatched details around the faces. The repeated facial motifs have elaborate headdresses and decorative patterns, resembling classical theatrical masks or ancient mural faces. The design's complexity and arrangement create visual movement and depth.
