DescriptionA painted steel sculpture composed of organic and geometric panels affixed to an upright rectangular panel at center. The two largest shapes are attached on opposite edges of the flat rectangle. They are each narrow at the bottom and wide at the top, somewhat resembling wings. The smaller of the two shapes features rounded curves, while the other is more angular. A square panel hangs off the side of the taller form, angled downwards. One side of the central rectangle features a small circular panel near the bottom. The work is painted in shades of yellow, white, dark green, baby blue, salmon pink, and black, featuring layered hard-edge rectangular grids and expressionistic marks. The composition sits on an unpainted, square base.
