Spiritual Agreement on the Physical Plane
1975

A complex, abstract drawing filled with a multitude of lines, geometric shapes, and various objects scattered throughout. The artwork features a chaotic arrangement of elements including text snippets, arrows, and sketches of items such as a screw, a feather, and a fish. The color palette is primarily black and white with occasional splashes of color. The overall composition gives an impression of a densely packed, energetic visual field that might represent a map or a diagram with an underlying narrative.
