About this work

This print is made of thin, colored lines stacked tightly together. The lines shift between blue, orange, and brown, creating a fuzzy, shifting shape in the middle. The edges of the paper are rough and uneven, like it was torn or cut by hand. The colors don’t blend—they stay separate, making the image feel alive as you move. The artist used a mix of printing methods, including some raised lines for texture. Check out lithography to see how artists print images this way.
