Story / Additional InfoThis work is an excellent example of the artist's abstract experimentation. She likes to work at times with abstract shapes and focus on color, line and composition without an attachment to overt representations of reality. However, often some hint of a realistic component appears (sometimes subconsciously) as is the case in this painting, which evokes a window with a curtain blowing across with hints of plants or foliage. The viewer is invited to use their imagination and find other images in the window. there is some underpainting which creates texture on the surface.
