This image shows a simple black-and-white drawing of three tall, vertical lines. The lines are made of tiny, crisscrossed marks that look like they were scratched into the paper. There’s a thin white border around the top and sides, and the whole thing sits on a blank white background. The marks are so dense they almost look like woven fabric or a textured wall. The artist used a method that layers ink to create different shades of gray. Look up etching to see how artists like this make prints with acid and metal plates.
