DescriptionThis complex work is the result of overlaying of images. The object’s color scheme is primarily golden yellow, pale blue, burgundy, white and black. The image is so complicated that it is somewhat difficult to read all of the layers. The overall image has a structure of linked geometric lines superimposed upon it and a spiraling linear vortex motif begins in the lower right corner, tilts and expands as it moves toward the upper left lower portion of the print.Exhibition History
