John Torreano, A square, a tear, and an icoso
A charcoal sketch of a human figure standing near a series of three geometric prisms shaped roughly like huge gemstones. Each gem is taller than the figure. One of them suggests a diamond, one is spherical, and the third is vaguely square. A few spindly trees stand nearby.
This charcoal on paper drawing is composed of 3 geometric shapes. The one on the far left is an open square with various thick lines, the one in the center is hexagonal and the one in the background is diamond shaped. All of the shapes are open with various thick lines criss crossing them. There is a line drawing of a person on the lower right. There are 2 pole shaped structures on the right on top of the person.
