Screen Abstraction
c. 1971

A high-contrast black and white image depicting the silhouette of a Ferris wheel with intricate patterns, possibly viewed through a screen or mesh, creating a textured appearance. The wheel's spokes radiate from the center, and irregular blotches, likely leaves or other objects, are scattered across the image, partially obscuring the wheel's structure.
