1996.316: Homage to Lissitzky (Opposing Perspectives)
DrawingsA roughly square shape rendered in thin black lines is subdivided into four main sections which in turn are crisscrossed with various lines and shapes or blocks of black or primary colors. In each of the lower left and upper right sections, wedge shaped planes emanate from center growing wider toward the corners of the square, and each intersects two circles at the center of those sections. Conversely, the sections at upper left and lower right each have a cube shape shown in perspective, each appearing to get smaller toward the center of the square.
