Edward Armen Stasack

Artist, American, born 1929

The image displays swirling and angular lines forming an abstract composition. The curves and rigid shapes suggest a machine or figure with an ornate headdress. Some circles and arcs resemble gears and cogs, while other segments resemble celestial bodies like planets or moons. The abstract artwork allows viewers to interpret the forms based on their own experiences.
