Artist, American, born 1946

The image shows a grid-like pattern of vertical and horizontal lines resembling brick walls. Two large rectangular sections of red bricks are outlined to show them stacked traditionally. The design is reminiscent of a classic brick wall with vertical columns and subtle vertical lines suggesting flutes found in classical architecture. It resembles architectural blueprints with an abstract twist, focusing on the repetitive texture and structured alignment of bricks.
