Untitled 1995

This untitled work by Beverly Semmes from 1995 uses simple, black lines on a white background to depict a still life. The composition consists of three objects: a vase with a circular base, a stack of three blocks, and a large, bottle-like figure that sits on a flat surface and resembles a vase. The central figure is filled with swirling, abstract lines, resembling the interior of a vase, or perhaps, a body. Semmes' work often uses this simple style to explore themes of identity and representation.
