Image description: Made of glass, acrylic, paper, and polyester film materials, a wide rectangular work has a beige background, with large light blue and dark gray paint marks consuming the center third of the frame. On top of the paint, messy letters are printed in gray with yellow and orange outlining and underlining. The center two of the four lines might be read as: “TRSE WLD N CDE / AS N WLD N CBE”
