Artist, British, born 1949

The image shows abstract shapes with smooth, rounded tops and solid rectangular bases. The forms resemble oversized stylized chess pawns or abstracted human heads perched on columns. The lines are sketchy and cross-hatched, suggesting texture and shading. The composition creates an illusion of depth and space through the arrangement of these shapes against a light background.
