Persian Series #9

Overview

Sharp edged ""chunks"" of color set in black, straight, often multicolored, lines piercing shapes, imprisoning them, until they are fragmented bits of color in black: repeat of this theme again and again until darkness prevails, but is then broken open by pure white shards and ""spears"" restoring the original ""dance"" of hard-edge shapes and lines, which then begin to whirl clockwise, interspersed with fade-outs, and then shatter into ""confetti"" texture, in black, burnt ""sugar-shapes"" and the overwhelming flare of yellow.
