Artist, American, born 1941

The image shows an abstract circular form composed of many overlapping pencil lines, creating a dense, textured appearance. The shape resembles a fuzzy sphere, similar to a dandelion puff or a textured patch on fabric. The collection of lines gives it an organic and nebulous quality, set against a plain, light background.
