About this work
This painting shows three wavy shapes stacked like fabric, all in the same red-and-blue plaid pattern. The background is a flat, warm tan color. The edges of the shapes are dark and thick, almost like ink spilled.
The artist used a single pattern but stretched it into odd, floating forms. It’s part of a set of six prints made in 2019.
