Artist, British, born 1939

The image depicts abstract shapes and lines with swirling patterns across the canvas. A horizontal, elongated shape is positioned in the center. Vertical shapes on either side enhance the composition's natural, earthy feel. Gray and brown tones, along with white swirls and dots, evoke natural textures like woodgrain or stone surfaces.
