About this work

You see a bold, angular letter B drawn in black ink. Tiny dots fill the shape, like scattered seeds. The lines around it wobble, soft edges against the sharp letter. Chryssa loved signs and symbols. She once traced words from neon signs in New York. This drawing feels alive, like a letter mid-breathe. Check out how she layers dots inside the lines next. Look up Chryssa (Vardea-Mavromichali) (1933-2013).
