Sculptor, American, born 1941

The image shows a single white line in the shape of an angular 'L' on a black background. The abstract form features a vertical straight line meeting a horizontal, slightly curved line at a right angle, resembling a hook or corner structure. The stark contrast between the white line and black background emphasizes its geometric quality, drawing associations to basic shapes or minimalist architecture.
