Artist, American, born 1941

The image shows a large metallic gear or cog-like object formed by interlocking cylinders to create a three-dimensional, rounded shape. The color palette is primarily monochrome, with shades of black, gray, and white highlighting the object's texture and form. The object is centered towards the top half of the page, angled slightly to the right, with shadows cast to the lower right side, suggesting a light source above and to the left.
