Description

Subject Matter:

This surrealist inspired image shows spiky, vaguely humanoid forms on either sides of a arcaded construction. 
 

Physical Description:

This vertical print has a large spiky form on the right in the foreground, looking like a cross between a cactus and a man, and a smaller, floating spiky form in the upper left quadrant, farther back in space. The artist left ink on the plate so that some areas between and around the spiky formations are slighly shaded.
