Diptych of two pencil-and-pastel sheets on white. Left: three wiry figure-like tangles in blue and black, open contours over graphite ghost-lines, legs trailing off the sheet. Right: the same three presences filled with mass — turquoise, ultramarine and violet packed into dense knots over brown-black. Sketch and chord, side by side.
