Description:

Artist's statement:

In my opinion, while at college most students make many experiments and try out different styles in the course of their studies. Therefore I find it interesting that, although I was attempting all sorts of things at Gray's, most of my subsequent work has been in abstraction, of which this is a small and very early example.

Abstract composition.
