Warm Broad Glow (reversed)
2008

A black and white artwork featuring the phrase "negro sunshine" rendered in a three-dimensional, cursive neon-like script, centered on a gray gradient background with a white border. The image has a soft, glowing effect around the text, and there is a visible wire leading from the last letter, suggesting the text is a light installation. The artist's signature and edition number are in the lower right corner.
