Description"Shaken" is a large, horizontally oriented, monochromatic graphite drawing. A layered network of multi-sided shapes (bubbles, perhaps) with white edges fills the entire sheet. These shapes appear slightly smaller and more densely arranged at the upper left corner. They expand in size and are less dense towards the right-hand side of the composition.ProvenancePurchased from the artist;
Hugh Merrill and family’s gift to The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, Kansas City, MO, 2022.
