This image shows a small, dark shape in the center of a blank white page. The shape looks like a rough, tangled cluster of lines—kind of like a smudged fingerprint or a burst of static. The rest of the paper is completely empty, with no other marks or colors. The artist used a computer to draw it with a plotter pen, layering five sheets of paper. That means the lines aren’t painted—they’re made by a machine following instructions. Check out Cheyney Thompson to see more of their work.
