About this work

This piece looks like a tangled mess of lines and shapes on a light background. Thin gold and silver threads twist together, some forming loops or circles. There are also small, cut-out shapes—like paper cutouts or stickers—scattered through the mess. The whole thing is stuck to a clear plastic sheet. The artist used a lot of overlapping lines to build up the image, almost like scribbling but controlled. It’s not a clear picture of anything—just shapes and movement. If you like this kind of layered, messy art, check out cross-hatching.
