Abstract Stick Figure
1991
This abstracted compositional study presents a vertically oriented figure constructed from geometric and organic forms against a vibrant purple ground. The work employs a fragmented approach, combining angular planes in black, cream, and warm terracotta tones that suggest the constituent parts of a standing human form. Two circular white shapes function as focal points, creating visual rhythm within the otherwise rectilinear composition. The interplay of curved and straight elements generates an ambiguous sense of movement and dimensionality, characteristic of modernist figuration.
