Here, in Pink Bird, these qualities are distilled to a more intimate scale. Blue-green carries the composition, lifted by passages of pink, lilac, lime green, red, black, and yellow that all feel exceedingly jubilant. The lines move freely, and the forms unfold with a sense of ease. Though modest in scale, the work feels airy, joyous, and exalted.
