The orange circuit at the centre of this work - an almost-closed ellipse trailing a loose apostrophe of a tail - sits in studied conversation with the isolated vertical stroke at the upper right, which refuses to complete itself into anything so vulgar as a shape. Osei-Bonsu lets the two elements hold the picture plane as separate but co-dependent propositions, the gap between them doing more structural work than either mark alone.
