About this work

This painting is all black with bright yellow shapes. Thin yellow lines crisscross the whole thing. Some lines are straight, some bend. There are also small and big yellow circles scattered around. Two black holes cut into the paper show the color underneath. The yellow bits look like they were cut out and stuck on. Some overlap, some stand alone. It’s like someone took scissors to bright paper and rearranged the pieces. If you like this, check out cross-hatching.
