About this work

This wall shows ten small, abstract prints in two rows. The images mix black ink lines and shapes with splashes of bright orange. Some pieces look like tangled webs or cracked surfaces, while others feel more like scribbled energy. A few have textured bits glued on or a single orange dot for contrast. The prints combine different techniques—some look hand-drawn, others printed. One piece even has a rough wood-grain background. The mix of messy and precise lines makes them feel alive. Check out lithography to see how some of these prints were made.
