About this work

This image shows a grid of thin black lines on a white background. The lines are all parallel, but they shift slightly in length and spacing, creating a wavy pattern. The whole thing looks like it’s made of repeated marks, like a stamp pressed over and over. The artist used wood to carve these lines, then printed them. That’s why it looks so crisp and uniform—each line is the same width, but the slight changes make it feel alive. Try looking up woodcut to see how this printing method works.
