Ambreen Butt

Artist, American, born 1969

The image shows a swirl of straight and curved lines forming an abstract pattern with gun-like shapes at the top. Below, a figure is kneeling, holding a long-necked form with wings. Abstract shapes resembling machinery and gears fill the background. The kneeling figure wears a dotted garment. The image conveys a motif of wings and a serpentine neck that may bring to mind mythical creatures.
