Describe: It is a composition made up of organic and geometric shapes and lines that are different values of gray. Starting at the left bottom corner there is one of the darkest values and as you move to the opposite corner there are two more shapes that are that value. There are six dark lines in all that create parallel lines on the left side of the page, an acute angle on the bottom right/middle side of the page, and a right angle near the right upper half of the page. Those lines shape around areas with a very light value. There are 21 basic shapes that are separated by values or lines.
Interpret: The movement of the piece seems to be pointing downward in both directions. The dark shape on the left bottom corner points towards the left corner. While on the right the two lines that going to form the acute angle point down to towards the general direction of the right corner. It doesn't seem like a fast moving piece, but it doesn't seem that slow either. It makes me feel like it's an action that has just been stopped so that we can view it. What counteracts the downward movement is the middle dark shape that points towards the left top corner. Basically all of the outside shapes look like the move, but the inside overlapping organic shapes seem to make the whole mass stuck in time. another thing that also pulls the piece upwards is the white square that is made up by the two lines that make the right angle.
Evaluate: I really like the feeling that the piece is a snap shot of a moving occurrence. The balance is nice because of the placement of the darker objects moving to the left and the lighter objects moving the right.
