Artist, American, 1940 - 2007

This painting depicts a complex arrangement of winding shapes and curvilinear lines within a vaguely rectangular frame. It features a variety of vibrant colors like pink, blue, green, red, and yellow. The forms suggest familiar objects such as a ladder, seaweed, aquatic plants, a star, and a fish. The background is off-white. The elements are interconnected in an organized but chaotic manner, resembling a playful scene with a child's blocks and toys.
