About this work

This print shows two big circles stacked on top of each other. The circles have sharp lines inside them, almost like gears or a maze. The colors are mostly brown and white, with some splatters around the edges. The artist used a process that lets ink sit on a flat stone before pressing paper onto it. That’s why the lines look crisp but the edges are messy. Look up lithography next to see how this printing trick works.
