Crescent Bridge I
1970–1972

Abstract artwork depicting a series of rounded forms that resemble stones or boulders, with a textured black and white background that gives the impression of a rough, tactile surface. The composition is minimalist, with the forms positioned in the lower half of the canvas, leaving a vast expanse of negative space above.
