Untitled
1994

A vertical, elongated artwork depicting two abstract, pod-like forms side by side on a brown paper background. The forms are outlined with faint grid lines and numbered sections, suggesting a schematic or design, with the left form filled in with dark, smudged shading and the right form less shaded. The bottom of the artwork shows evidence of paint drips.
