Pig-Pen
1967

A sculpture of a headless figure seated on a white wooden chair. The figure is wrapped in fabric with a peach and pink floral pattern, and a cream-colored cloth is draped over the shoulder area, resembling a shawl or head covering. The figure's form is suggested by the wrapped and draped fabric, with no distinct features or limbs visible. The background is a neutral gray.
