Hermosa Strata, Colorado
1977

A textured artwork with multiple layers of earthy, reddish-brown tones, featuring a central rectangular area surrounded by rough, wavy borders that create a sense of depth. The piece has an organic, almost geological appearance, as if layers of sediment have been compressed over time. The background is a plain, off-white canvas that contrasts with the rich, warm colors of the artwork.
