A quieter, more contemplative work than many in this series, this piece presents a compact organic/mechanical hybrid structure floating centrally on the sheet with generous white margins. Sinuous tubes, crescent-moon shapes, circular porthole-like openings, sprouting arrow and leaf forms, and water droplets combine with a small seated human figure on the left and a pedestal fountain element at the base. The composition is executed on a noticeably textured/laid paper that gives both the pencil strokes and the signature a stippled, tactile quality. The nearly monochromatic grey and sepia palette, with subtle blue accents, creates a mood of introspective stillness quite different from the more exuberant works in the series.<br>
<br>
Signed lower right. The unusual textured paper and restrained palette make this one of the more distinctive works in the series for buyers who prefer subtle, meditative imagery. Estimated value range: $100 to $400.<br>
