Associated Artists

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a rectangular piece of fabric with a frayed edge. The fabric is burnt orange with white line drawings. The drawings depict what appears to be nets and bubbles. The nets are drawn in white lines and have a web-like pattern. There are several bubble-like shapes, some solid and some outlined. Some of the nets appear to be partially submerged in the bubbles. The background behind the fabric is solid white.
