Close up of Campus Students No. 1

Six painted figures walk through a space structured by rectangular shapes of red, brown and tan. Dressed mainly in pants, boots and shortsleeved shirts, the figures pass each other without interacting and move in many directions. The texture of the panel surface shows through the paint.
