Faus
1984

A mixed media artwork featuring an abstract composition of various patterns and textures that resemble fabric swatches. The left side shows warm tones with a checkerboard pattern, while the right side displays cooler blue tones with intricate designs. The piece is intersected by vertical stripes that give the impression of a folded or layered textile. Handwritten text at the bottom suggests a signature and date.
