Vertical black and white lines of paint over book pages.
Polychrome (yellow, red, and green) watercolor abstract shapes in center of paper. To the top left of painted form, a yellow spot (round) about 1 1/4 inch in diameter; gray rays.
A black and white photograph of one the two towers of the Brooklyn bridge in New York city. A small portion of the tower is visible to the right side of the photograph, the remaining frame of the photo focuses on the suspension cables. The larger thick main cable comes out from the top, with the tower, with relatively thinner cables cascade downwards diverging from the point of origin towards the unseen bridge deck in this photograph. The mix of diagonal cables vertical ties coming down from the main cables create a see through checkered effect.
Prairie scene with stand of evergreens in upper right; buffalo traverse the left side of canvas from background to foreground. Red line divides canvas horizontally; red pigment bleeds from the line diagonally toward lower half of canvas. Pink and blue V-shapes evoking birds fly in wavy and swirling lines that traverse canvas from top to bottom. Lines of red arrows flow from top to bottom together with the buffalo; yellow and green arrows travel canvas from bottom to top, toward trees; white arrows form circular swirls in the sky.
