Artist, American, born 1930

The image shows irregular, interlocking shapes filling the canvas. There is a clear division down the center separating two sections of the pattern. The shapes resemble stones or tiles. The left half has lighter filled shapes with textured lines, while the right half has slightly darker and smoother filled shapes. The image gives the impression of a stone pavement, with each section suggesting a different texture or material.
