This geometric abstract is split vertically into a light blue field on the left and a dark blue field on the right, where three five-pointed stars shoot off in the upper corner. In the center thin bands of reversed light and dark blue create an overlap between the two distinct sides. On each side a third shade of bright blue partially outlines corners of incomplete retangles canted at opposite angles. Within the outline on the left there are concentric circles of shades of red and yellow in an upper corner. The outline on the right has no upper corner but there is a slightly larger circle in the lower corner, with a leaf-like shape peeking from behind. In the central foreground, there is a large thin circle decorated with stripes, inside this a circular image, which almost appears to have facial features, sports unusual appendages: three little nobs on top, and three bird-like feet on the bottom.
Growth Phase 1
In this abstract, a half a yellow circle is sinks into a central area, oblong retangles and organic shapes in the background suggest the forms of a desert mesa landscape. There is a leaf-like motif in the foreground. The composition feels familiar, but remains open to interpretation.
