Is it a vortex? A bouquet?

I wish Kathy or Doug Landy had shared some insight from their 20 years of living with this wild little Richard Serra drawing. It’s signed on the back; it came from Salander O’Reilly, and it’s been publicly sold before. Yet this seems to be the first time the Richard Serra studio, at least, has heard of it.
