Artist, American, born Ireland, 1945

The image displays an arrangement of rectangular shapes in earthy tones, including dark brown, rust, gray, and mustard yellow. Each rectangle has a soft, blurred edge, creating a gentle blend between the colors. The composition may evoke familiarity with patchwork quilts or grids of windows, but its abstract nature enables viewers to interpret the forms solely through the interplay of color and shape without a specific subject.
