Piece

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image titled "Piece" by the artist is a rectangular artwork with a tan border around the edges. The artwork features a dark background with thin, diagonal, black and white stripes and small, white, hook-like shapes. On top of this background, there are several light brown plant-like designs with long, pointed leaves. The plant-like designs are scattered across the artwork, with some partially cut off by the edges of the image. The overall effect is one of intricate, detailed texture and pattern.
