Artist, American, born 1949

The image displays sweeping, intertwined lines creating a dynamic visual flow across the canvas. Bold, curved strokes intersect and overlap, resembling freeform movements or the trails of a ribbon in motion. The lines suggest an energetic entanglement, similar to twisting ribbons or cords. The abstract nature invites viewers to connect the forms to ideas of movement and fluidity.
