Comments: This is kind of a "classic" composition of the irregular shape series. Basically, patterns of irregular shapes layered with a geometric pattern. I would try to maximize the variety within the limits of a given type of shape and then juxtapose the pattern of irregular shapes against a regular grid to intensify or underscore the irregularity of the shapes. This one has an almost underwater feel and I have thought of it as fish and a net. Perhaps the most unusual part of it is the lack of an overall system of bars and windows which had become an almost universal motif in this series. I also created several smaller versions of this same basic set of shapes in the same narrow format.
