DescriptionThis is a pair of framed artworks that are meant to be displayed as a diptych. Each print is a vitreograph on paper. The imagery is a colorful and linear geometric design that seems to be primarily blue, yellow, and red but which actually include all colors of the rainbow (orange, green, and purple are thinner and more subtle). Horizontal and vertical lines dominate, but a faint diagonal line can be seen traveling from the upper left side to lower right side of each print, and the colors are slightly muted to the left or right of this diagonal; this has the effect of creating a trapezoidal shape at the center of the diptych that is brighter in hue.
