Description
-
Thick handfuls of white paint are slathered and smeared, in broad, horizontal and diagonal strokes, over a solid, black backdrop, using the artist's body as a painterly tool. Segments of the composition are marked by dry, sweeping lines and daubs of paint applied using the artist's fingers, conveying a dynamic sense of movement.

Condition
-
Discolouration; white paint appears yellowish. Left and right edges of the canvas have pulled away from the stretcher, leaving holes where they were previously nailed. Orange stains. A long liquid stain down the canvas. Brown marks which appear to be some sort of rust. Insect droppings (see edges of the canvas). Scuff marks at the lower left and lower right corners of the canvas. Lizard droppings. Black stains on the reverse due to the medium used seeping through the canvas. Slight craquelure.
