A square-formatted lithograph composed of dense cross-hatching depicts overlapping geometric planes. Gradients of reddish-brown, deep purple, and slate blue intersect, while bright white diagonal bands cut through the composition from our top left. Sharp-edged forms, punctuated by olive green and subtle yellow-gold highlights, converge toward the bottom right. The abstract work is centered within wide white margins, suggesting a dynamic play of light across textured, receding surfaces.
