This painting is made up of seven sheets with pen drawings and one sheet with colored pencil. The sheets are filled with intricate lines and patterns. It's interesting that the artist, Henry Flynt, worked on this piece over a long period, from 1960 to around 1970, and then reconstructed it in 1982.
