About this work

This image shows a tangled web of black lines on a light, textured background. The lines twist and loop, overlapping in places but never quite forming clear shapes. The paper looks worn, with small dark spots scattered across it. The artist used a printing method that lets ink sit on a smooth stone before pressing it onto paper. That’s how the lines got so clean and sharp. Check out lithography to see how this technique works.
