Description

Subject Matter:

The title "Whorlworm" may refer to the black shapes in this print. Walters created this abstract print for a small publication that was produced by Adja Yunkers at the Rio Grande Graphics Workshop with contributions by himself and several other artists and poets. The piece was a collaboration between artists and poets around the common theme of the desert.

Physical Description:

This dark print shows a brown rectangular frame around a space with a pale yellowish-green concave area on the bottom fitted with a blue convex area above. Thick black straight and wavy lines cover the blue and yellowish-green areas.
