Description

Abstract painting/drawing. The background is white. The focal point is a square in the center with the top and bottom edge in blue and the left and right edge in red. In the center of the square is a blue grid-covered square. In the center of the blue square is a smaller black square. There are six green and yellow thin, rectangles throughout the work and ten red and orange ones. They are of various lengths. There are five blue and purple triangular shapes and four blue and orange triangular shapes. Not all of the shapes are visible. There are about ten small triangular shapes throughout. Across the entire background are small lines, all angling toward the bottom left corner. Several of the shapes throughout also cast a grey shadow giving the appearance that the objects are raised or floating on top the white background.
