Artist, American, born 1953

The image shows a collection of elongated and angular shapes with abstract lines crisscrossing the composition. A vase-like object in the center displays the words "New York City," surrounded by smaller geometric forms resembling basic 3D wireframes, such as a cone and a spiral. Stylized silhouettes in the corners suggest a human figure and a skeletal frame. The overall design evokes an abstract landscape reminiscent of urban architecture or industrial components.
