Chasm
1983

A woodcut print featuring an abstract design with sharp, angular shapes in red and black, against a dark background with a small patch of blue at the top right corner. The shapes give the impression of dynamic movement, resembling shards or geological forms. There are white speckles scattered across the lower section, possibly suggesting stars or distant lights. The print is numbered and signed by the artist in the bottom margin.
