Artist, British, born 1949

In this image, there are elongated and rounded shapes with smooth edges, rising from a flat base. These forms resemble the silhouette of bowling pins or distorted, simplified heads of spoon-like figures. The sepia tone and soft shading enhance the organic feel, evoking a sense of aged pottery or ancient tablets, while the indistinct outlines and muted contrasts contribute to the abstract quality of the composition.
