A black and white abstract print featuring a series of erratic, angular lines and shapes centered on a square piece of paper, surrounded by a wide white border. The artwork is numbered and signed at the bottom.
A black and white abstract print with gestural, ink-like strokes centered on a white paper. The strokes form a loosely grid-like pattern with some areas denser than others. The print is numbered in the bottom left corner and signed and dated in the bottom right corner.
A black and white abstract print featuring a grid of gestural, bird-like shapes on a square canvas, centered on a larger white paper background. The artwork is numbered and signed by the artist in the bottom margin.

The bottom left corner of the paper features a fraction (12/45), indicating the print number, and the bottom right corner has a signature and the year '86. The artwork conveys a sense of fragmentation or chaos.
