About this work

This piece is a mix of black lines and circles tangled together on a light background. The lines overlap in messy loops, some thick and some thin, filling most of the space. The paper has a rough, textured look, like it’s been worked on by hand. The artist used a printing method that lets ink sit on top of the plate, creating a slightly fuzzy edge to the lines. This makes the shapes feel alive, almost like they’re moving. Check out how this work was made using etching.
