Flotsam (Tables Rib Saw Hand)
2010

A colorful abstract artwork featuring a segmented, stylized map-like shape in shades of pink, blue, green, and brown, with white silhouettes of what appear to be two squids or octopuses overlaid on the map. The background is white, and the image has a textured appearance as if drawn with crayons or pastels.
