1955

An abstracted figure is depicted through incisions onto the board. The figure is sat in profile, with one arm resting on their bent legs, the other under their chin, tilting their head back. The impression of a third arm rests between the two as if in motion. The face has one eye completed blacked out, and one light, the figure has shoulder length hair, and a short fringe.
