A looping, self-interrupting form in rose-blush line work, 'Study for a Caught Thing' circles its own subject without resolution. Nwosu sits somewhere between Louise Bourgeois's anxious spirals and the patient contour searches of Ellsworth Kelly, borrowing the nervousness of one and the botanical attention of the other. The overlapping arcs produce something caught between a leaf, a mouth, and a net, while two near-vertical strokes intrude from the upper frame and flatten any easy reading.
