Image description: The central motif is a bright red, orange and yellow sun comprising a series of concentric rings, interrupted by patches of other colours, which fractures as it extends outwards. Gradually this 'exploding' sun dissolves into an array of grey and black organic forms. Vivid lines of blue, red and black loop energetically around the sun. The background is an undulating sea of greys, browns and blacks interspersed with flashes of yellows, reds, blues, greens and pinks.
