Artist, American, born 1937

The artwork features a composition of geometric shapes: a triangle and a circle within a square. The triangle is placed diagonally, with its hypotenuse extending from one corner of the square to the opposite corner. The circle, drawn with a fine line, intersects both the triangle and the square. The circle's diameter stretches across the square, touching its sides. The use of lines and shapes creates a balance within the design.
