About this work

This black-and-white print is packed with odd, spooky figures. Skeletons and ghostly people crowd a room with a fireplace, some dancing, others playing instruments. Outside, more eerie shapes float in a stormy sky. The lines are sharp and scratchy, like something carved into wood. The artist used a single technique to make the whole thing—no colors, just deep blacks and whites. It feels like a busy nightmare, but the details are all hand-carved.
