Artist, American, born 1930

The image displays scattered, irregular shapes in various shades of brown intersected by straight diagonal lines. The abstract composition includes forms resembling topographical maps or fragmented puzzle pieces, with circular "O" shapes dispersed around the edges. The arrangement of lines and shapes suggests elements of a landscape or terrain seen from above, while the pattern of stripes and forms evokes movement or dispersion across the canvas.
