About this work

This print is mostly blank—a pale yellow background with almost nothing on it. In the top left corner, there’s a faint red sketch of a person’s arm and hand. Near the center, two tiny blue lines cross each other like a rough X. The edges are worn and slightly torn, with a few small marks in red ink. The empty space makes the small details stand out. The red sketch looks like a quick, unfinished idea. The blue lines might be a test or a mistake, but they’re the only color besides the yellow. Next, check out Avakian, Hrandt to see more of his work.
