Repeated three times: An abstract etching print in black ink on white paper. A central, looming abstract figure sits in the upper two-thirds of the paper. It twists with fabric or muscle-like fibers around in an upside-down "U" shape, with several pieces of the main shape curling off to the side and one extending well beneath the shape and hooking to the left like the bottom of a lower-case "G". In the center of the abstract shape is a kind of webbing that unevenly unites the "U" shape. The bottom of the page features a marbling effect that fades in from darker black at the corner to lighter grays in the center, giving the central abstract figure a glowing appearance.
