Artist, American, born 1941

The image shows swirling shapes and dynamic lines forming an elongated structure crossing the composition horizontally. Splashes and speckles emanate from the central lines, creating a pattern resembling a tree branch or a crashing wave. Below the main structure, a dense, textured area spreads across the lower part of the image.
