Artist, American, born 1949

The image shows blurred, silhouetted shapes and lines that suggest the form of several upright figures, one of which is holding a raised flag. This abstract composition plays with shadows and indistinct outlines, evoking the appearance of soldiers or military figures standing at attention. The soft blending of dark tones juxtaposed with a hint of red and green in the background gives the impression of a distant battlefield. The forms resemble toy soldiers, with the figure at the forefront appearing to lead with a flagpole extending upwards.
