Artist, American, born 1935

The image features geometric shapes such as squares and triangles arranged in layers and intersections. A large circular form is in the background, with angular dark shapes in the foreground overlapping. The contrast between the reflective circle and the matte dark shapes suggests shattered reflections or a deconstructed kaleidoscope. The composition evokes a collision of modern architectural elements or fragmented pieces of a complex puzzle.
