Artist, South African, born 1955

The image shows thin, swirling lines intersecting and curving around the space in an abstract manner. There are two sharp, dark shapes resembling silhouettes of biplanes within the lines. The juxtaposition between the structured form of the planes and the disorderly backdrop of lines is evident.
