Artist, American, born 1930

The image depicts a composition of various lines and shapes, with sections of parallel lines, both diagonal and vertical, overlapping in an abstract manner. Among these abstract forms, shapes reminiscent of silhouettes or profiles that could be likened to abstract maps or landforms are present. Additionally, there are elements within the design that resemble eyes or circular discs and a small, star-like form in the lower section, adding a hint of recognizable symbols amidst the overall abstraction.
