About this artwork

This three-part design features repeated depictions of pronghorn antelopes whose rectangular bodies are filled with diamond-shaped stepped motifs. The interplay of positive and negative forms and spaces adds to the visual complexity, as does the relationship between the organic, animal shapes and the decorative geometric motifs.
