Snow capped Mount McKinley, Alaska, glacier in foreground
A black and white photograph of a partially visible tower of the Brooklyn Bridge. In the foreground the vertical suspenders intersect the diagonal ties. In the background the main suspension cable descends with the smaller diagonal ties, reinforced with the vertical ties coming down from the main cable.
Polychrome (green and blue) in abstract form applied to center of paper
A double tree trunk is visible at the bottom of this three-dimensional sculpture. One of the trunks is cut off and the other rises to reveal a human form (a life-size cast of the artist's own body per the object file) within the wood-like structure. Several thin branches protrude from the top.
