Artist, American, born 1941

The image shows two intersecting lines forming a bow-tie shape. Each side resembles an arc or segment of a circle. The design is simple and symmetrical, reminiscent of opposing fans or butterfly wings. The contrast between the light lines and dark background enhances the abstract and geometric quality of the composition.
