Artist, American, born 1946

The image displays intersecting rectangular shapes and lines creating an abstract composition of walls. These geometric forms interlock and overlap in a structured manner. Fine lines and cross-hatching add texture and depth, like architectural blueprints. There is an elongated rectangular cut-out within a central shape, resembling a window or niche. The design hints at structural elements often seen in modern architecture.
