Artist, American, born 1930

The image displays irregular bold black shapes surrounded by textured black and white patterns. The central shape resembles an outline of continents and contains geometric lines and patterns. The surrounding areas consist of textured sections creating contrastive backgrounds with a marbled surface and diagonal stripes. The composition is abstract and can remind viewers of maps, prompting individual interpretations.
