This boldly geometric collagraph print by Patricia Pearce resembles a fragmenting landscape. The top section of the piece is rendered in a rich and deep red tone. This is then contrasted by the emerald green horizon, which at the top resembles mountains but then fragments into distinct geometric pieces. A small green dot above the center of the horizon gives the impression of a faint moon or sun. This landscape composition is then overlapped by the bold triangular shape which comprises a large portion of the image. Within this triangle, there is a white shape with red texturing and folds which are evocative of fabric.

Unsigned, from a collection of the artist's works. Labeled "State 16" in bottom left corner.
