Known as bisu-bisu, it is a geometric maze of evenly spaced lines that create winding paths across the surface and visually dissolve the divide between figure and ground.- 1960-2021Marjorie Tomchuk, New Canaan, CT, gifted to the Cleveland Museum of Art2021-The Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland, OH
