Artist, American, 1924 - 2007

The image shows abstract shapes and lines that create a complex interconnected figure. The central shape appears to resemble a sitting figure with a triangular form suggesting a torso and arms. The shapes intertwine and overlap to form connections and curves, evocative of a person interacting with an object. Textured and shaded areas add depth, while contrasts in light and dark suggest volume and form, projecting an image of a person in an abstract expression.
