A horizontally oriented print in black ink on white paper overlooks a skyline of rooftops and chimneys. Jagged, geometric forms are suggested by layered, frenetic strokes that cluster densely on the left and far right. Tall, thin vertical lines rise toward the top, while brief, squiggly lines and dots define towers against a pale gray-green wash. This airy composition depicts angular structures in a complex, skeletal urban landscape.
