notes: label: Description
content: This collage consists of an abstracted design in colors of red, brown, off-white, white, on a black background, with accents in green and blue. In the center of the black background are three abstract figures depicted within two irregular color fields, red to the right and off-white to the left, both roughly outlined in green. A third color field of grey is at the top right of the painting, above the red color field. The top figure resembles a bird in shades of brown and white, outlined in black with blue accents and depicted mostly within the off-white color field with rounded lines continuing into the red color field. Below and to the left of the bird figure, in the offwhite color field, is a mass of lines and abstract geometric shapes in shades of black, brown, and white with green, red and blue accents. Below and to the right of the bird figure, in the red color field, is a round outline in black, with shades of green, white, and blue accents.
