Artist, American, 1930 - 2009

The image features flowing, organic shapes and bold lines intersecting and diverging on the canvas. The artwork resembles the silhouette of a sand clock, with textures that bring to mind geological formations or the contours of a weathered landscape. The network of lines could be likened to leaf filaments or river branches on a topographical map, creating patterns within an abstract context. Darker shaded areas contrast with lighter spaces, providing depth to the image.
